Check the charger and check the battery. Either or both could be the problem. However, charging any battery will cause the battery to heat up as well as the charger. "Well too hot" is relative. Make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for service. If you need to find an Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple. Also, see How to find your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Distributor (AAD).

I picked up that nugget of information threw having 2 iPhone's that would die on 80% and constant problems with Macsafe chargers.


Yes have checked the charger it's very hot!

And battery does need to be replaced silly question really, it's made by apple!


Apple store's always end up being a "well too" expensive day for me so thanks but no thanks.


and is "Well too hot" really your relative? what is it your Aunt/Uncle or Cousin?
