iPhone 8 Heating Issue

[vin1717]

I have a 256 gb iPhone 8 and have been noticing instances of the device heating up. It appears to be completely random with no particular app triggering when it happens. I always keep the screen brightness down and have the updated software (11.01.1).

Any other 8 owners having the same issue?

When did you get and set it up? It usually takes 2-3 days for all the stuff that happens in the background to settle down.

Tell us what software you are running. Many time an app can hang up and cause this. Have you checked the battery statistics to see what is using the power. If it is heating up it has also to be eating up the battery

I got it and set it up on launch day, so it’s been a full week.

11.0.1, the update pushed out his week. The battery statistics are normal, with nothing standing out and there isn’t really a battery drain. The phone just gets warm.

When does it get warm? Is it while you are doing something?

If it is really getting warm is has to be using a good bit of battery. Takes energy to make things warm.

Well my iPad mini 4 behaves this way sometimes. My IPhone 7 Plus does on occasion, but not daily. I'll have to just pause here and see what fellow owners of your same model are experiencing. It's been a long time since an iPhone has had a glass body and I'm not sure how heat transfer feels on it and how hot the new chip runs.

I noticed it while I was scrolling Twitter the most recent time. Other times it happened, it was on Safari and a news app. I didn’t see a spike in he battery usage for those particular apps when it happened.

I’m guessing it was the software update just working itself out.

That’s a great point, I didn’t think about the glass back element. I think it could have something to do with the software too, since I noticed the heating issue on my 6s running ios11 before I got the 8.

Im guessing the issue will likely correct itself. I’m probably just being hyper sensitive because the phone is only a week old.

Mine was only hot when I restored it. Besides that it appears normal.
