Weird experience last night. Picked up phone and noticed that the power button and immediate surrounding area was quite warm/hot. Any of you experienced that?

I knew the Wi-Fi was weak where I was, so trying something, I turned off Wi-Fi, and that area started to cool down.

Any thoughts on what caused that, and what was heating up by the power button?
 
Perhaps it was warm from where the battery is or it was generating heat in that area. Unless the iPhone was switching back and forth from LTE/Wifi with the poor signal.
