In spite of how genuinely cool a device may be, problems are bound to occur at some juncture. According to iPhone Atlas, a number of users have reported that their iPhones are generating an uncomfortable amount of heat from their units under various circumstances.
Like other consumer electronic devices, excessive temperatures can lead to erratic behavior and potentially damage component surfaces.
The reader reports point to the following circumstances where the iPhone’s temperatures have become excessively hot:
-While charging.
-When being used while charging.
-While using Wi-Fi while on phone calls.
-When the iPhone is performing multiple simultaneous functions.
The article then offers the following advice to help keep the iPhone’s temperatures down:
-Remove the case, which can prevent heat from dissipating properly. Silicon covers tend to act as insulators and can retain additional heat within the iPhone.
-Activate Airplane mode, which powers down various parts of the internal circuitry and helps keep the phone cool.
If these steps have been taken and your iPhone is still operating at excessive temperatures, be sure to contact Apple in order to see if repairs or a warranty replacement might be applicable. And if you’ve seen this from your own iPhone or have a suggestion or workaround, let us know.
