The iPhone heats up and discharges quickly: what to do? Why does my iPhone get hot? iPhone 6s gets hot while charging.

Hello everyone! After a recent firmware update on my iPhone 5s, it got very hot and its battery was dying right before my eyes. Although I did not do anything supernatural and reprehensible. I just used it as usual - a browser, books, a few toys, . In general, everything for which the phone is actually intended. Looking ahead, I’ll say that the problem was successfully solved (although I had to spend some time), but how - I’ll tell you about it today.

Although ... in the beginning it is necessary to designate one point. It must be understood that during charging, any iPhone or iPad heats up, this is normal, it should be so, it makes no sense to panic about this. Especially heating will be felt at that moment if you use the device with the charger connected. In this case, if there is no cover, it will be really hot. But I repeat - this is the norm, it remains to accept this fact "as is".

How to find out whether the temperature of the gadget is normal or not? Personally, I check it like this:

You need to download some game that is quite demanding on resources - if during the game (10-15 minutes) the phone is only warm, then everything is “ok”! If not, then read on...

However, if you notice that in addition to heating, the battery also “runs away” (quickly discharges), here the matter is clearly in the phone and something needs to be done. And here's what you can do:

1. The first option (it is also the simplest) is all the content and settings of the device (do not forget about its next one). You can find out where they (copies) are. By the way, it was this method that suited me - after such manipulations, my iPhone 5s stopped warming up and began to behave quite adequately.
2. Reset doesn't help? Do a flashing even if the software on the device is the latest and there are no updates. Just install the latest software again. After turning it on, to complete the picture, try not to immediately restore the device from a copy, but set it up as new. Observe the behavior on a "clean" device.
3. Go over the settings - geolocation, the Internet (especially mobile and especially in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bunstable reception) can also have a strong effect on the heating of a smartphone or tablet.
4. If your device is iPhone 5, then pay attention to this page. In short, Apple has a battery replacement program that covers iPhone 5s sold between September 2012 and January 2013. In order to find out if your device is suitable, enter its serial number.
5. And the last option - the "insides" of the gadget are damaged. There is no way out - straight to the service center. Why so categorically? The fact is that the problem can be not only in the battery, but also in the motherboard, charging controller, etc. You can’t determine “by eye”, it’s better to trust professionals.

If it so happened that the iPhone has warmed up and does not turn on, then how to fix this misunderstanding.

As a result, I want to repeat - heating, which is not accompanied by any accompanying problems (loss of charge, for example), is a retribution for the thickness of the phone and the materials from which it is made, and is absolutely normal.

So, if you are only worried about the temperature and nothing else, you do not need to worry and immediately run to the store or repair shop. Believe me, under a certain load, any iPhone will be “hot” and nothing can be done about it - a design feature.

It happens that an apple phone that has been working well for some time starts to get very hot, while the iPhone 6 also heats up in normal operation. Such heating pleases in the winter season, but do not forget about the possibility of spontaneous combustion. So Why is my iPhone 6 getting hot?

Signs of problems that you can see or feel.

• iPhone 6 heats up completely or only partially
• Menu toggles by itself
• Battery drains quickly
• The gadget freezes when overheating.
• Stops turning on

Causes of iPhone 6 Heating

• Vigorous search for a global network (Wi-Fi module uses a large amount of energy to maintain communication)
• Unsuccessful attempts to detect mobile communications (in the subway, underpasses)
• Restarting the processor (if a heavy application or game is running on the iPhone)
• When running multiple applications at the same time.
• The iPhone heats up while connected to the network (when it is completely discharged, it is possible to heat up when charging). This reason for the heating of the gadget is common, since the iPhone 6 is similar in manufacturing to a desktop computer. But unlike a computer, it does not have an additional cooling system.
• When using an incorrect charger (faulty or non-original)
• When there is a software failure. It is possible to fix such heating by flashing the iPhone 6
• The problem of the gadget itself, caused by a manufacturing defect, or after a mechanical breakdown

The next couple of options need to be more carefully disassembled, since in the presence of this problem, the gadget heats up in its normal state and discharges very quickly. In order to determine the cause of iPhone 6 overheating device needs to be diagnosed.

What can iPhone 6 overheating lead to?

The worst and most dangerous thing that can happen is an iPhone fire due to overheating. If you feel your gadget starts to heat up, it is better to immediately turn off heavy applications and show the iPhone to a specialist.

What to do if the iPhone 6 heats up due to a hardware failure (failure of the processor, charging sensor, or other reasons)?
When you have a warranty on your phone, you have two options:

• After collecting all the accessories, documents and boxes, take it to the store where you purchased the iPhone 6 and demand a replacement.
• With a warranty sheet and a phone, he will contact the service center, where after an unsuccessful repair it will be replaced for you

In case of water ingress or mechanical damage to the iPhone 6, the warranty is automatically removed, after which it began to heat up, it is better to show it to a specialist to fix the problem.

All the pros and cons of the iPhone 6.

At the end of September, official sales of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus started. In total, over 13 million new Apple smartphones were sold during the first weekend. Due to such volumes, it is not surprising that some users have problems with devices. Most of them can be solved with a reboot, others can be fixed with the release of the next update, the developers say.

Battery life

There are a number of problems in iOS 9 that have affected the use of the iPhone 6s. It happens that the iPhone simply stops responding to touch, cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth gadgets, and the mobile Internet is malfunctioning. However, many have traditionally complained about the battery life of the iPhone 6s.

In 9 out of 10 cases, the abnormal discharge of the flagships is caused by the background work of a particular application. In such cases, you need to go to the settings, the Battery section and see a list of the most energy-intensive tasks. To improve the autonomy of smartphones, you need to return to the main settings screen, then go to the General section –> Content update and disable the specified option for the “failed” application. Also, the power saving mode will help to extend the time of work away from the outlet: Settings –> Battery.

Spontaneous shutdowns

Owners of the iPhone 6s Plus version complain about the involuntary shutdown of devices with a charged battery. According to them, new Apple smartphones can turn off at any time, even while charging. In this case, the smartphone does not boot on its own, and you have to turn it on manually. Twitter and Facebook users have reported that this prevents their alarms from going off as the smartphone turns itself off in the middle of the night.

This effect is observed by the owners of the modification of the iPhone 6s with 128 gigabytes of memory. You can completely get rid of this problem by completely resetting the gadget: Settings -> General -> Erase content and settings.

Issues with 3D Touch

The launch of the new 3D Touch technology hasn't gone entirely smoothly. Users report that this feature does not work correctly in the Safari browser. So, when you strongly click on the link, the preview of the page does not open. But the problems of the standard iPhone browser do not end there. Users of all Apple devices on iOS 9 note that when entering a query in the address bar, it is entered in capital letters. You can return 3D Touch to proper operation by resetting all device settings. In this case, user data remains on the device.

Overheat

Another iPhone 6s problem detailed on the net was a serious overheating of the smartphone, which makes it impossible to use the flash. At the same time, as the authors of the complaint note, the smartphone is used only to view the news feed on Facebook or is simply in your pocket, that is, it is not subject to any heavy loads. The iPhone 6s gets noticeably hotter than its predecessors.

To solve the crash, some users are advised to close applications in the multitasking window, as they can download information and use device resources even in the background. Others note that heating only appears when the device is first started, and after syncing with iCloud, the problem disappears by itself.

Sound distortion

Some iPhone 6s owners complain about poor sound quality, including crackles and distortion. According to them, it seems that the speaker membrane will fly out or burst when playing notifications. In addition, sometimes the wrong speaker is selected for calls and other signals, and the volume level does not match the settings.

On the support forum, there are disputes about the reasons. Many people believe that such speaker operation is caused by a factory defect or a banal deterioration in the quality of the speaker in the new iPhone. However, a number of users are confident that the problem can be solved with the release of a new version of iOS.

Home button heating

Customers have complained on Apple's website and on social media that the home button gets too hot, making it impossible to touch at times. The current iPhone line is already the third in a row, in which a fingerprint module is built into the main key of the smartphone. It is assumed that the overheating is caused by a software error, due to which the sensor unnecessarily performs the scanning process all the time. The problem can be solved by holding down the power and home buttons for 10 seconds for a hard reset.

It is worth noting that almost all the problems described by iPhone 6s users indicate errors in the software part of new products, and not defects in the production of hardware or in its assembly. Thus, with future firmware updates, the problems will be fixed. This will be a small consolation for users who have found a defect in their smartphone.

In the electronics market, there is a huge number of high-quality products that provide comfort and convenience of communication at work and at leisure. A prime example of such products is the iPhone.

This gadget is made of reliable materials and has many advantages in comparison with other smartphones. But in some cases, this device malfunctions and starts to heat up. Most often, with this problem in mobile phones, you need to replace the battery or fix the problem. But to fix the problem, you need to find out the reasons that lead to excessive heating of the gadget.

The described mobile device heats up for a number of reasons:

• In some cases, heating occurs when the new iOS firmware is installed incorrectly. The operating system, when not working correctly, consumes a lot of energy, leads to accelerated battery consumption and heating of the phone.
• When charging a mobile phone, the battery heats up if the universal charger is used. And to avoid the problem, the gadget must be charged with the original charger, otherwise it can lead to self-ignition of the iPhone.
• High voltage when charging causes the temperature of the phone to rise. The battery must not be allowed to be completely discharged while using the gadget.
• Inaccurate handling, such as falling and bumps, adversely affects the operation of the device.
• The most common reason why the iPhone heats up is the penetration of moisture into the device case. The liquid, in addition to heating the gadget, leads to oxidation of the contacts or even a short circuit.

What other problems cause the iPhone to heat up

Once a month, the phone should be cleaned from accumulated dust and any other types of contaminants that have penetrated inside the device. If the iPhone heats up, then the battery needs to be replaced to fix the problem.

In order not to have to think about why the iPhone is heating up, you should pay attention to other problems:

• the battery holds a charge for several hours;
• a software failure occurred, manifesting itself as spontaneous menu switching, turning the gadget on or off, etc.;
• the gadget freezes or slows down;
• there are problems when turning off the phone.

All these reasons, to one degree or another, lead to partial or complete heating of the case, which further leads to the failure of the device.

Causes of heating "iPhone 5"

There are many reasons why your phone gets hot. If the "iPhone 5" is warming up, you can contact the service center, but first you can try to solve the problem yourself.

Why does the iPhone 5 get hot? If this happens when active work is not being done, then this is a clear cause for concern. And, as we have already said, there are quite a few reasons for heating: moisture ingress, mechanical damage, program malfunctions, problems with the power controller.

For example, if the battery is damaged, a red indicator appears on the battery. This battery must be replaced immediately. Excessive use of settings, applications (for example, update settings, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, various background programs and any other processes) will speed up the phone and the battery will drain faster.

When charging on the road, sudden changes in electricity, using powerful chargers, the phone in most cases starts to heat up. And connecting to the phone's network to the full in the future leads to the failure of the battery.

It also becomes clear why the iPhone heats up when entering a warm room from a cold street. Sudden changes in air temperature are detrimental to him. When entering from the street, where the air temperature is lower by 30-40 ° C than indoors, it is strictly forbidden to immediately turn on and even more so work with an iPhone!

Why does the iPhone 5S get hot?

You should be aware that most often the heating of the device can be eliminated after updating the program. And the sleep mode allows you to unload the operating system and saves energy.

In some cases, the reason why the iPhone 5 S heats up, just like a smartphone of another generation, is a manufacturing defect. And if this is detected, then the manufacturer quickly changes the device to a new one, the main thing is that the phone is purchased in a verified place.

Why does the iPhone 6 get hot?

In some cases, the "iPhone 6" becomes warmer than in standard cases, for simple, natural reasons. Using various additional functions, such as 3G or 4G, checking mail, leads to a slight heating of the gadget. A constantly working Wi-Fi leads to a rather strong heating of the device. In addition, at a remote point, the iPhone spends more energy on connecting to the network, which also leads to overheating.

Why does my iPhone get hot while charging? The temperature of the device rises slightly when connected to the charger. If it was completely discharged before connecting, this also leads to heating, since a large amount of energy is supplied.

Please note that you cannot work with an iPhone connected to the mains! This leads not only to excessive heating of the phone, but also to rapid deterioration of the battery.

Causes of overheating of the iPhone during its operation

Why does the iPhone get hot during operation? This can be facilitated by various processes, such as playing games, watching movies, listening to music or audio books. With additional load - the work of several applications at once - the gadget heats up much faster than under standard conditions.

If the phone gets very hot when talking, working with applications and other activities that load the gadget, then the problem must be fixed immediately. A slight increase in case temperature during such actions is the norm.

After a certain period of operation of the gadget, it becomes almost impossible to restore a damaged device. Breakdowns progress over time. After falls or impacts on the case, microcracks grow, traces of oxidation and corrosion become larger. Therefore, if the device starts to warm up, it must be shown to specialists.

In case of excessive heating of the case, the malfunction must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise it will directly affect the performance of the iPhone and can lead to costly repairs in the future.

How is the repair going:

• 1 Free diagnosing brought-
  device, either by you or our courier.
• 2 We make repairs, and also give a guarantee on new installed parts. On average, repairs last 20-30 minutes.
• 3 Get a working device yourself or call our courier.

So, this problem could be caused by a recent drop and damage to the battery, a broken power connector, liquid getting under the case, and system errors or viruses.

iPhone battery damage

If your iPhone 6s Plus has recently been dropped on a hard surface, the cable may have come off or the battery may have broken. Track how much your smartphone is discharged in standby mode, for example, overnight. If the readings are high, you will have to change the battery.

Another technical malfunction can be called a power connector. Usually, its breakdown occurs when using low-quality accessories. Try changing the charger and check if the iPhone 6s Plus is overheating.

If the problem persists and the gadget still drains the charge too quickly and heats up, you need to diagnose it in the service.

Liquid ingress is the reason that the iPhone 6s is heated

If you washed your phone with your clothes, spilled tea on it or dropped it into a container of water, it is better to visit the workshop immediately. If you have not done this yet and the iPhone has begun to heat up, then the corrosion process has begun with might and main.

To avoid the final breakdown of the iPhone 6s, you need to do a professional cleaning in the workshop.

Software update will remove the rapid discharge of the iPhone

Very rarely, but still, viruses or system errors lead to battery failure. This is the only cause of the problem that you can try to fix yourself.
