Getting "iPhone needs to cool down" warning while using Apple Maps

I bought the iPhone 6 yesterday and today I used the Apple Maps navigation on it. Not 30 mins into the navigation I got following warning from the phone "iPhone needs to cool down". 30 minutes of GPS usage is not too much. This happened twice. Are other ppl. having the same issue or is it just my phone?
Thanks,
Anupam

My iPhone overheated while I was using it. An error icon same up on the lock screen and in place of the clock it was written 'Temperature' and in place of the wallpaper it was written "Your iPhone needs to cool down for normal use". What to do?

The iPhone has become extremely hot where the camera is located and as one moves his hands away from the camera, the temperature gets cooler. Any solution?
It is so hot around the camera that I cannot touch it.

Leave the phone alone and let it cool down.

I have an error message reading "Iphone needs to cool down before you can use it". ?

I can only use the phone for maybe 4 minutes before this message appears with a yellow warning triangle. (Iphone 4S)
"Iphone needs to cool down before you can use it"
The phone is not warm and after a couple of minutes it is useable again only to repeat the same message a few minutes later.
I've done a restore which made no difference.
Anyone have any ideas/similar problem?
Cheers

IiPhone needs to cool down and screen went blank. It's been several hours and still no screen. Any suggestions?

If you connect it to your computer, does iTunes see it? If you plug it in to charge, does it make any sound or vibrate?

My Iphone 4 wont restore from a back up, during the process the phone says it needs to cool down and disappears from itunes

I DROPPED MY IPHONE IN THE WATER. A MESSAGE SAYING THAT THE IPHONE NEEDS TO COOL DOWN APPEARED REPETEA REPEATEDLY. I RESTORE TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS AND NOW IT DOES NOT LET ME RESTORE FROM A BACK UP!!! IT KEEPS SAYING IPHONE NEEDS TO COOL AND IT DISAPPEARS FROM ITUNES
ANY SUGGESTIONS?!!!!!!!!!

We're fellow users, STOP YELLING AT US! At the very least, get your CAPS lock key fixed.
The device was dropped in water, it is damaged, take it to Apple along with cash or a credit card and get an Out of Warranty replacement.

So bring it to Apple for evaluation. Can you not figure that out by yourself?

IPHONE 4 Temperature too hot needs to cool down????

I waited 12 hours in line for my iphone 4 and got it today. Got it activated in the store, worked fine. When I got home, it started saying "Temperature too hot, needs to cool down". It wont let me charge or sync. The phone is not even warm, as I had not used it since i left the store..I have waited a few hours and I am getting concerned. Any advice please?

so the info in that link is correct.
No it's not. The directions given are for a Reset and no matter what you call it, following those directions will not erase any data or settings and will certainly not restore the phone to it's original state. I've done this hundreds of times and it's like rebooting a computer - nothing is lost.
Check the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf Search for the terms Reset and Restore.
Please learn the functions of the iPhone before posting solutions on a tech support forum.

My iPhone say it need to cool down before using it

My iPhone have4 days say it need to cool down before using

A tip is avoid doing things that eat up battery power right after it has been charging. Charging any battery will naturally make the battery temperature go up, followed by activities that drain a battery like heavy internet browsing in combo can make the temperature get to the point where the fail safe kicks in to prevent an over heat.

IPhone 6 shows needs to cool down

my brand new iPhone 6, out from box is faulty.
it shows it need to be cool down before use.I couldn't activate the phone.
Operating temp 55-60 F. Apple accepted return and it will replace with new one.
color gold.

My wife came in from a walk and it was -12 degrees. The phone was in an outside pocket, and was as cold as ice. she received the error message that her phone was to hot and needed to cool down. She let it warm up, and now is working fine.

Turned my iPhone completely off and then on. The lock screen then came up with no clock and when I entered my pin, it would not bring me in, it would just go back to the same lockscreen with no time. Now says Temperature, needs to cool down

Stuck on screen saying Temperature needs to cool down before use for hours, I don't know what to do

Also, it does not say Swipe to Unlock, it says Swipe For Emergency. Maybe why the passcode isn't working?

My phone intermittently States that the temperature is too high and so needs to cool down!! Howeve, it feels cold and I am only able to shut it down to restart it. This only temporarily resolves the problem. This started when battery was replaced.

Iphone 5 is stating that the phone is too hot and needs to cool down before it can be used. However the phone actually feels cold!! I can turn the phone off and restart it which temporarily resolves the issue. this issue stated once Apple replaced my battery. Any solutions or idease??

Take it back to Apple and have them look at it.

IPad shows a message "iPad needs to cool down", but it is not hot or even warm

I have used my iPad 2 days, and when I just turned it on, 5 minutes later a message appeared:
"TEMPERATURE
iPad needs to cool down before you can use it."
The message disappeares after 2-3 minutes, and then again, after 5 minutes it appears.
The device in not heated, it is not warm, and I do not overload it with different activities.
What can I do?

I think you have hardware problem. Bring it to Apple for a check.

Temperature ipod needs to cool down comes on

Temperature caution icon comes on and says i pod needs to cool down, but have not been usig it or charging it.

Unles you are in a very high place or the iPod is in direct sunlight, there is something wrong with your iPod.
The error will go down when the iPod cools enough.
