Anyone else experience an incredibly hot iPhone 6 Plus? Please no comments from people that are using cases. Only people using the iPhone without a case would know how hot the phone is getting.

It is almost as hot as my macbook pro at times, which is crazy. I've never felt a phone get this hot before. I am worried it is going to burn the SIM card, as that area feels especially hot (the edge by the sleep/wake button and SIM, and at the top).

The worst part is I experienced it with normal safari browsing. Not gaming or watching videos. I was on macrumors.

I used mine for six straight hours in a 4G coverage area, not LTE, which really makes the device work hard.

Didn't seem hot to me at all. Warm maybe.
