The iPhone 4S is my first ever iPhone but I'm noticing that it gets pretty warm during usage. I just played a game for about 15 minutes and the phone was pretty darn hot after wards. I also have an iPad 2 and that thing never raises temperature. Does the A5 really run THAT hot? I find it hard to believe that Apple would let this slip through.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 4S getting hot?

It shouldn't harm the phone or hurt you in any way. Here's a general support article on the operating temperature of iOS devices.
You can turn the screen brightness down a bit, b/c it's just like running maps, the heat increases with the screen brightness on 100%....
I also notice my phone gets hot, my iphone 4 never got warm after playing games for hours. 3 hours 37 min usage, 3 hours 37 min standby, with 37% battery life... Not sure if that's right, but it seems to drain battery faster than the iphone 4. screen brightness is alittle above half, exact same settings as iphone 4.
