As per usual, I’ve searched for this with no good answer.

I just browsed the MacRumors forums for 10 minutes or so and my iPhone 12 is now hot to the touch. Safari is the only open app.

This is a recurring thing with very little use.

Anyone?

It happens. Wifi connection, LTE, or 5G? Usually nothing to worry about.
 
Check this out, it might be something to do with it >

Now that is bizarre. I know the text editor here is otherworldly bad. But if it is overheating my phone… wow.

It’s not your phone, it’s this website, they are working on a fix, the ads are draining peoples phones and causing them to get warm.

My phone was warm as on Friday night and I lost massive battery life while on here.

Install this app, enable it in safari settings, content blockers and never look back, it’s awesome, getting crazy good battery life, phone ain’t getting warm either 👇

Recommend following these instructions in post 36 👇


Had to charge my 12 pro max twice on Friday.

Today it’s currently at 60% 😃 5h8m usage

Is the Mozilla app better or more efficient than AdGuard? I have that installed on both iPhone and iPad, no battery worries either. 🤚

I’d say they’re pretty much the same thing, if it’s not giving you any headaches, stick with AdGuard.

Hopefully the hit on my battery life and warm iPhone changes now that it’s activated.

You’re going to love it, was using my phone all day on here, battery life was awesome, it didn’t even get hot once.

It‘s 7pm here and I’ve still got 59% battery life left, your shout drinks and blackjack if I ever come up to Vegas ome day. 😜😂

Content blocker or Tapatalk Pro without ads, otherwise I can’t stand this or most other forums.

iPhone isn’t getting hot anymore on this forum, and no drastic battery drop from being on here old boy. I say, give this man a hand. 👏🏼

I say let’s all go Vegas to celebrate 🍾
@LFC2020 this man deserves the utmost respect.

My phone overheats (or gets really really warm) only when I browse the macrumors forums on safari on it. This has happened on a 12 Pro, SE 2 and now my 13…..does this happen to anyone else? I’m perplexed. It’s not my software because it has happened even when I set a phone up from new.

Same. It’s a pain. Going to stop coming here.
