Hey Liam_Wells,

Overheating iPhones can be frustrating! It’s often due to intense activity or environmental factors.

Common Causes:

  • Running graphic-heavy games or apps for extended periods.
  • Direct sunlight exposure or hot environments.
  • Heavy background activity or outdated software.
  • Charging while using intensively.

Quick Fixes:

  1. Stop Intensive Use: Close demanding apps and avoid gaming until it cools.
  2. Move to Shade: Get your iPhone out of direct sunlight or hot pockets/surfaces.
  3. Remove Case: If it’s a bulky case, take it off to help dissipate heat.
  4. Update Software: Ensure your iOS is current via Settings > General > Software Update.
  5. Restart: A simple reboot can clear background processes.

If it persists, consider getting it checked professionally.
