iPhone 14 pro and IOS 16.4 - Overheating when charging and battery draining

I too had a similar issue few months ago on my iPhone 12 Pro bought two years ago from Apple Store in the USA.

What I did is given below

1. Took a backup on iCloud (Which I do regularly)
2. Logged out of the Apple ID
3. Erase --> Erase iPhone - Apple Support (IN)
   1. Keep eSIM Data was the option I chose (See the pic)
   2. .
4. Set up my iPhone and restored it from iCloud Backup
5. 

I continued to have the same issue with the heating.

I repeated the above steps but this time I did not restore from the iCloud Backup. I set it up as a new iPhone.

Waited... There is no heating issue.

Conclusion.:

• This does not suggest any hardware issue!
• This is also not an iOS issue
• Some Apps or iPhone storage maybe heating up the device.
• This is not the iPhone Cover or Charging able issue as I had used the same cover and cable while doing both the above processes

Action Plan:

• I will now slowly get my all data back one by one.
• Using the elimination process I will try to find out which app or settings were causing this...

It has been many months since then I have got back 70% of my apps and the heating issue has not returned. Probably the rogue apps were not used now.

Hi, Since upgrading my iPhone 14 pro to IOS 16.4, when i charge now the side and the back of the phone get so hot. Not to the point of showing a warning. But I know this is not normal. I also noticed the battery drains just after lunch when it used to last me a whole day.

I’m also facing the issue after upgrading to the iOS 16.4.1 iPhone 12 side and back is headed while charging. And battery stopped charging after 80% giving error iPhone is overheated.

@Apple please fix the issue on priority.

Hello and thank you for you inputs. Can you tell us how it all ends ?

I returned my iPhone 14 pro because, even after a few days, it was constantly averheating even while just browsing web ! Some said that the problem probably come from the modem chip - g5 ultra hot, g4 hot, wifi - not Hot !

would you do some testings ?? Would love to own a pro instead of the normal one (heavy user that I am)

thank you again

Same thing with me and my battery health went from 96% to 93% in a month or so and I blame overheating while charging even thought cable and wall charger are original parts and I do not use it while charging, this is so frustrating.

Same heating issue with my iPhone  12 - 128 GB, iOs 16.4, 75 GB available space.

I'm worried because it's becoming kinda usual with every other update, i have iphone13 and it heats up like nothing

Hi All,

same issue with my iphone 12 bought 2 yrs ago. Battery is draining quickly and slowness is observed. In general back of the phone is hot most of the time using usual apps.

I am also facing the same issue does it fixed now in your mobile and how

I solved the issue by clean erase and setup the iPhone as a new phone.

iPadOS the same problem, very hot and problem with batteries

Dont worry apple is not bothered …
