Part 1: Reasons of iPhone Overheating

iPhone getting excessively hot could lead to iOS failure even fail to start the device. 3 reasons could lead to iPhone overheating.

1. Components of the iPhone

If users keep running 3D games, playing videos, or transferring data for long periods of time could make the CPU keep running. However, iPhone does not equip with fan like computer or gamer to cool down. As a result, iPhone gets overheated.

2. Battery error

Battery, a consumable, needs to replace a new one after a long time of usage. Besides, battery with bad quality will also get overheating. It is not recommended to use the iPhone while charging battery, which will lead iPhone to overheat even blow up.

3. Other reasons

The temperature is high and the iPhone is exposed to sun, which will warm up your iPhone. Besides, heavy case will also heat up the iPhone.
