I noticed something similar when I got mine yesterday while setting it up: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/xs-max-overheating.2140390/#post-26535088. It still does get warm easily for example when I'm browsing Facebook or Safari. That would happen as well with my previous 8 Plus but not as much with the 8. I guess extra large phones are more prone to warming?
Facebook’s app is about as good as its data securityFacebook is the culprit there. My device performance is generally much better since I got rid of that app.

And warming and dimming brightness when playing with Memojis/Animojis after like 5 to 10 minutes? Is it normal?
That sounds a bit weird. I’ve been playing with them as well but nothing like that is happening on my device.

The only time I've had my X get too hot, is mistakenly leaving a game running. Normal usage, like FaceTime, or phone calls, do not cause any appreciable heat. Doesn't the Xs have more cores? Might be similar what's happening with the MBP, more cores in a thin enclosure = more heat
Yeah my Max got warm just like my X when FaceTiming last night. I imagine the first day, everything is still processing on the phone, so FaceTime is adding to the process and causing more heat. Give a few days while the phone indexes everything and things should be fine.I do about 1 hour of FaceTime with my brother every Sunday. My X would only get slightly warm. Never hot. I am betting the MAX will be the same.
