I just tried this on my 17 pro and it doesn't happen. The keyboard opens normally.
Interesting! Not a single person I know has these issues. Tried reinstalling your OS from scratch?
Wow, these phones are getting warm just texting, something is up for me with this update (or just ios 26 in general).
Considering trying ios 26.1 Beta 1 to see if the warmth goes away cause it's starting to annoy me.

This is probably my problem. I’m very impatient and I’m not used to this increase in heat and battery loss for the first week like many of you are reporting. When I feel my phone getting so hot doing nothing it really bugs me and I went nuclear twice now and restored from backup on my Mac. Still getting heating. I’ve never had this before. Should’ve listened to my gut and not updated from 18.7. But I’ll report back in a week. I’m going to get a new battery next week too. But I don’t want iOS 26 to nuke my new battery either! Hope this sorts itself out!
What iPhone is this on? 17 Pro Max? I would like to also know if other owners are also getting this heat since updating to 26.0.1? Been holding it off ever since seen your comment about it lol.
This is happening to me on both the Air and the 17 Pro, so it's not a particular model in my case. Really bothering me. I don't know what's going on. It's like these spikes of warmth that come and go, but even doing basic things like texting, quite annoying.
For me: 16 pro max with ios26 is ok wireless CarPlay on my wife’s car.
My 17 pro max I’m getting constant wireless CarPlay disconnects on my car. It’s fine with wired. It was fine with a 16pm on iOS 26.
So something to do with the new hardware.
The update did not fix it.
I don’t have issues on home or office wifi.
Some people will say it’s indexing and to give it a week. And others say there phone is fine. I wish apple would come out and say something about the random heating. They said in the support document “temporary battery and thermal performance” is expected after an update but what is the timeline of this?
Haven't heard of anyone else having this issue. Is it from your wallpaper? Do you need to crop the bottom edge?
I must be lucky as I haven’t had heat issues before! I would certainly hold off on the new battery for now. Prior to iOS updates I always close down all background apps. Once installed I usually do at least one maybe 2 hard reboots within 24 hours. Don’t know if this has helped but that’s my habit. Oh and give it a week before judging battery performance 😉
It does that randomly no matter which wallpaper I select. It goes away when I unlock the phone/lock it again and does not come back again for some time. It then appears again randomly at some time. Like, for example, my phone is on the lock-screen right now and that line is not there.
Must be a case by case. Never understood how some people have issues and others don't. Its the same exact software on each phone.
I'm not having any overheating issues on my iPhone 17 Pro, but I updated with the ipsw file. You could try downloading it and updating at least one of the phones and see if the overheating stops.
Because you don’t have issues. Random iPhones do and it’s something I’ll never understand as we all have the exact same iOS 26 installed.
My air stayed cool to the touch. Why do some phones do this and others don’t. I don’t get it.
Seems like random iPhones have this issue which I don’t understand as we all have the same iOS installed. Does Apple just pick certain iPhones and install bugs in them before shipping.
