Every once in a while my 4S gets a bit hotter than usual, but it's not often so I'm not too worried.

I've experienced this with all the iOS versions. Seems to be random too.

How are you going to develop iOS 6 software if you downgrade?

That's assuming the OP is even a developer. There seems to be a bunch of armchair "developers" here.
 
IOS 6 Making My IPad 3 Really Hot!

Same problem my iPad 3 stayed allways cool until I did a clean install with iOS 6 this morning.
If I can not resolve it I have to switch back and wait for the next beta to come.

mine too

Yes there appears to be an issue somewhere. My 4S is getting very hot, using applications that show cpu usage, the device is stuck at 80-100% cpu usage with most things disabled, this indicates something is crashing somewhere.
The battery currently discharges in less than 2 hours. Looks like I'll need to downgrade. :(

Deleted iCloud, fixed everything :)
 
In certain situations, mine gets hot as well. Not iPad 3 warm-to-the-touch hot, BLAZING hot (for a device). I'm actually surprised it doesn't shut itself off.

And lol at fanboys (though I am one myself) down-voting you because they don't experience the same results.
 
I think i saw a post long ago where a guy day that hes iphone gave him a warning msg saying that due to high temps the device power off, i guess when it gets dangerous it will kill himself :)
 
Yes I have an iPhone 4s and it gets extremely hot after 1 hour of use, I'm taking it to apple!

It's a Beta !!! Don't be taking a phone to Apple with Beta software. If your unhappy with heat issues go back to 5.1.1 until the 6 final comes out. If the issue is still there THEN it's ok to take it to Apple
 
IOS 6 Making My iPhone 4S Really Hot!

Yup! I have the same problem - 3 hours 100% to 4% with no usage - its my spare phone! I did an upgrade not a fresh install - any fear this will damage it? could be bothered do downgrade it till the weekend???

Clean install on ip4gsm - The battery life definitely needs to be improved, and might cause it to be warmer while charging, but definitely not during regular use.
 
Same thing happened to me. I was on a phone call and it got so hot in hung up the phone and displayed it's overheating warning screen
 
Very hot! after I upgrade my 4s to iOS 6. However I found that turn off iCloud backup and iCloud note sync function solve the problem. Try it!
 
Same problem, even getting the temp error. This happened after the last update (ios 5.?) and i can't remember what I did to fix it. I've tried everything, closing out apps, reseating SIM card, power down, hard reset, turning off all notifications and at the end of every day, it starts to burn up and die. I'm over it.
Also, I shouldn't have to not use certain features because of an upgrade.
