This phone is HOT

[Gagoots]

I mean literally. My new black 16GB black is very warm to the touch when in use. Does anyone else notice this?

 

[WhySoSerious]

i agree. mine warms up considerably.

I noticed the same thing but thought it was because i was in my car. Will test further.

Mine does too! It's not to the extent that I'm worried about it, but it definitely does get noticeably warm.

My 4S get's pretty warm when in heavy use/facetime. I think it's normal...

Unless it's like uncomfortably warm/burning.

Computers get warm when used.

That's what I thought at first, too. But I've noticed it inside as well.

Noticed the same with my Black/32GB. When I get my Incipio DualPro case, I am sure it will be moot. Definitely snappier I must say.

Yes I noticed it getting warm. With it being so thin I guess there isn't much between your hand and the source of the heat inside. It's not uncomfortably hot though

"Warm" and "hot" are totally different

It runs from warm to quite hot.

 

[Farplaner]

I suppose it's the same kind of warm as the new iPad?

One of the first hands on a bit ago said that it ran warm, but not Hot nor too warm to hold. Longer one has it on the warmth will be more noticeable.

I've been using the 4 up until an hour ago and I've noticed an alarming difference. I'm not trying to bash the product which I just bought two of, I'm just tying to see if I have a defective one.

Holding it wrong?

 

[KittyToy]

i been using mine since 9 am this morning and it hasn't got warm yet, my 4s did get warm a lot but who knows time will tell i suppose!

The metal is likely acting as a "natural" heatsink. Plus, the phone and layers are considerably thinner. Just my $0.02.

Unlike glass, aluminium is a much better heat conductor. It's the reason why heat-sinks are machined out of aluminium. You're feeling the heat in the unibody because it's dissipating heat. The upside to that is that the internal will stay cooler.

Even under heavy use, I am yet to see a temp increase, Unlike my iPad 3
