Iphone getting very hot during use

Over the last few weeks my phone has started getting quite hot at the back if I use it for more than 20 minutes or if I try using it whilst charging.
Should I be worried?
Thanks

That depends on how easily you get worried. It most likely means there's an issue with your battery but if it's really worrying you, take it by an Apple Store and have them take a look at it.

  • Battery gets very hot during use and doesn't last long, fan runs at high speed, computer won't shut down

    Macbook Air isn't a year old and I don't leave it plugged in ever. The battery might last 2 hours and gets very hot. In addition the fan runs at a very high speed. The computer won't shut down in a normal way. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off. Can someone suggest something please.
    Thanks.

  • Does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro

    does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro

    Are you saying that your machine does or is it an enquiry before buying ? I use a 2011 server model - well, it does get hot over a period of time, but I've very rarely heard the fan kick in, its a surprise when it does. As far as I know the casing has been specifically designed to conduct heat, rather than having any fancy grilles and so on, being so small in size. I haven't found it to be cause for concern, if that's any help.

  • Does anybodys iphone 4s get very hot when using devices such as camera?

    It would not be uncommon for the 4S to get a LITTLE WARM while getting used with the screen on etc, but not to the point where it gets so hot that you cannot keep your finger on it.
    If you can easily replicate the problem and you got it from an Apple Store then I would make an appointment to have it looked at/replaced.
    If you got the 4S from elsewhere then I would get in contact with them and arrange for it to be looked at/replaced.

  • IPhone gets very hot when not being used!

    Been having some trouble with my iPhone recently. For some reason the iPhone gets hot - I don't mean warm... When it's in my pocket I can feel the heat being generated, or sometimes I'll pick it up from my desk and it'll be warmer than me, even when it's not being used.
    It's started doing this recently. I've already had to hard reset it due to other issues but in addition to the heat issue the battery goes down really quickly, again when it's not being used. Today from a full charge it was down to 50% in about 2 hours.
    I had suspicions it was due to a recently installed app, but I'm not sure.
    Any ideas? Does it sound like hardware or software to you? Is there an app I can use to see what app is being used the most (in terms of CPU/memory/battery usage)?

    Thanks both. I've restored the device and I'll see how that goes. In addition I've turned off Bluetooth since it doesn't work properly (the reason for doing the first reset). I'm finding if my headset goes out of range of the iPhone, it disconnects and never reconnects to the iPhone. If the headset is out of range for too long and I try reconnecting it via the BT menu option by selecting the headset, it tries to find it but fails. I end up having to completely re-pair the headset all over again.
    Any reason for this or is it a known issue with the bluetooth?

  • IPod touch gets very hot when using the Internet/Video

    Hello. I have a question about my iPod touch (8 GB, 1.1.4, January Software Upgrade). When I go to Safari and browse the web, or when I'm watching a long video (YouTube and memory) the iPod gets really hot, particulary on the top, near the Sleep-Wake button. Is this normal or should I worry?

    Is it hot to the touch? or is it warm? My iPod only gets warm, but not hot, down near the home button after/during a sync or watching videos/searching the web.

  • Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter gets very hot in use (?)

    I've had the thunderbolt to firewire adapter cable for a month, connecting either a 500 GB or 1 TB "G-Drive" bus-powered HD. I note the small box at the firewire end of the adapter cable becomes quite warm in use.
    Is this to be expected?
    It is worrisome from, at least, the perspective of economy of power consumption, on a MacBook Air, used frequently away from a power outlet.

    You might want to post in the MacBook Air forum, then. This is the Apple Thunderbolt Dislpaly forum...

  • IPhone 5 getting very hot in car cradle

    I have bought a BMW cradle to charge my iphone 5 which also boosts the signal. It is an authentic BMW/Apple part. The iphone gets very hot even on short journeys. Is this normal?

    Hi Jooles,
    Normally, when you charge an iPhone or any Apple device it gets hot when you are using it . However, I'm using a Car Cradle as well that I bought few years ago and it doesn't gets hot. I think it depends on which brand or model you are using.
    Just a question, are you using a different cable? or an External Antenna?

  • Phone gets really hot while using the YouTube app.............

    My iPhone gets really hot while using YouTube. Is/has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned?I did a search and only came up with threads talking about the phone getting warm while charging, my phone does not get hot/warm while charging, only when using YouTube and sometimes while using Safari. Any input will be greatly appreciated!

    When connected via WiFi or EDGE or no difference.
    My iPhone sometimes gets considerable warm when connected via EDGE with low reception but this is rare when connected via WiFi or with good reception.

  • My iPhone 3GS will hold a full charge for only a short time, and gets very hot when not in use in my shirt pocket.  Any ideas?

    My 3GS iPhone will not hold full charge for very long.  It gets very hot in my shirt pocket even when hot in use.  Any ideas?

    Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running.  This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
    Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore.  Has a reset or restore been tried?
    Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

  • I got my 2nd iphone 5s brand you, it s getting very hot after 10 min of usage

    I got my 2nd iphone 5s brand you, it s getting very hot after 10 min of usage

    It means take it back to where you bought it from. If you don't want to do that you'll have to be more specific like how long you've had the phone and how you are using the phone when it gets hot. That kind of information. The more we know about the phone the easier it is to diagnose and offer suggestions.
