iPhone 16 Pro overheating after iOS 18.3 update

Think about an iPhone that is heating up, using iOS 18.3 to delete and edit a photo. you can fry an egg. Apple fixes this in 18.4 because in 18.2 it wasn't like this

This is normal. After an update, your iPhone has to carry out several background tasks including indexing to complete, in which you can experience increased thermal temperatures. When the update is fully complete, your iPhone's conditions will return to normal.


Also note that all electronics exert some kind of heat, and that as long as you do not receive a message with a thermometer, you can continue to use your iPhone normally.
