Hey everyone, so I have had my iPhone 11 Pro Max since launch day, and have had many times where I use it for long periods (Watching You Tube, Games, etc) but last night right in the center back of the phone (Maybe a tad above the Apple Logo and more towards the left, the right side seems to stay cool) after a few minutes of use, the phone is getting very hot. Anyone else get this all the sudden? Just very strange to all the sudden start.

The screen after being on for about 2 minutes dims a little as the back starts getting very hot.

I am running the latest iOS and no updated iOS recently installed. It cools down very quickly if the screen shuts off for a minute or two.

this can happen, some process is stuck and is chewing thru the CPU cycles. Just reboot and you should be good.

I noticed that exact same change a few days ago.

I don't play any games but I use YouTube frequently (and if I wasn't lazy I'd check whether YouTube has been updated recently).
