I would contact applecare about this issue. a hot phone is not normal , a warm phone is.
but if you contact applecare that way you have a record of the issue incase it gets worse in the future.

  • My iphone is getting hot to the touch and the battery is rapidly losing power.  I reset the phone but it continues doing the same thing.

    My phone is rapidly losing battery life - even when it is just sitting idle.  The back of the phone is hot to the touch.  I reset the phone but it is still doing the same thing.  Thanks.

    This happens if I upload too many HD photos at once. You are overworking the processor. Just leave your phone off and put it on top of a plastic bag of ice to cool it down. To keep this from happening you have to remove apps from the multitasker by double tapping the home button when the phone is on the home screen or in an app, then hold down on an app, then just press the little red minus signs. This won't delte the app, it just quits them (for example: quitting Skype will not allow you to recieve calls, quitting Facebook will stop you from receiving messages until you reopen the app, quitting the Phone app will not stop you from getting calls or texts though). This will save a great deal of battery.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 get hot when I am using facetime?

    I notice that after I have been using facetime for calls for about 5 minutes, my phone gets really hot. Anyone notice this issue? Should I replace my device?

    you could set up a genius bar appointment, but this may happen, are you using wifi or 3g/lte? is it plugged in while you FaceTime?

    some thing is runnng in the back ground. Or your email is struck. Deleted all emails and reboot phone and add them one by one. Or your sim cards has problem. Replace sim card. If nothing works drain battery then recharge battery to 100% full charge.

  • Why does my macbook pro get hot

    Why does my Macbook pro get hot while I am only on my email account?  This is a recent change.  It gets too hot too put in my lap.  Is it a battery issue.

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • Why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    The "streaming" that iTunes Match does is not the traditional streaming we are used to. iOS 6 actually downloads the song to non-permanent memory on the iOS device in a cache. The advantage of this is it then makes the tracks available for listening to again without having to stream it again. You can clear out the cache by either power cycling the device or disabling/enabling iTM. I prefer doing the former.

    Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
    Same phone, same tv, same broadband network so everything the same so I assumed that it would.....just work!!! :-)
    I'm away this weekend but I'm going to turn off and reload the Apple TV to see if that might work.
    If not I may be begging your assistance again next week!!!
    Have a great weekend.

  • Why does my iphone 4s get so hot on the back

    A lot of times when I'm using my phone to surf the web it seems to get hot on the back. Also there are times when the phone screen doesn't react to pinch and other gestures. Do I need to do something particular to fix these problems?

    If you have a weak cellular signal the phone must increase its output power to maintain a connection to the tower. The difference can be very large; for example, with 5 bars the phone transmits with 50 milliwatts; with 1 bar it goes up to 600 milliwatts.
