My iPhone 7plus gets extremely hot when I use Google Maps or any app that uses GPS (Pokémon Go). Is this normal?
 
Are you charging the iPhone while using a heavy app like Pokémon Go? When I briefly tried Pokémon Go, my phone became warm but not "extremely hot." You might have something else running in the background that you may not have control of.

No charging. Just walking around. I'll make a genius appointment if it happens again.
 
It happened again where it got really hot really quick on Pokémon Go. I think I may just have to delete the app. It's the only app that makes my phone get extremely hot.
 
My iPhone 7Plus gets warm quickly when playing Pokemon Go. If its warm outside, it heats up even faster.
 
In my experience, Google Maps is a real cpu hog which drains the battery pretty quickly. Not all gps apps are like that, I think Apple Maps is much better than Google Maps, and for instance iSmoothRun is very kind to the cpu.

Can't say I've come across that with Google Maps. In this case it seems to be more related to a game, one which uses GPS.
