Apple smartphones are by no means cheap, and therefore, when the iPhone starts to fail, it cannot but be frustrating. One of the most popular problems faced by users of i-devices is that the iPhone heats up and quickly discharges. Fortunately, such behavior of the phone does not always indicate a serious breakdown. In many cases, you can solve the problem yourself without contacting the service.
In this article, we will explain the causes of iPhone overheating and battery draining too quickly, as well as provide troubleshooting tips.
You may be surprised, but it is not uncommon for a device to heat up is the norm. If your iPhone gets very hot when you play a "heavy" game, there is nothing supernatural about it. Moreover, in this situation, the battery can be discharged by several percent at once, and this is also completely normal. And here it doesn’t matter if you have an iPhone 5S or a more “fresh apple”.
In addition, the iPhone heats up a lot during the charging process, but if you combine the process of charging the gadget and its operation, and in the “aggressive” mode, you should not be surprised that the device is hot as coal.
Reasons for concern
Another question is when a smartphone and normal mode use constantly hot. You should also be wary if the battery loses a couple of percent at once, when no challenging tasks in front of the device is not worth it. Well, if both problems are present at once - the iPhone both heats up and discharges unnaturally quickly, then you definitely need to worry.
Who is to blame and what to do?
However, it is not always a reason for concern - a reason to contact the service, in some situations you can handle it yourself, let's look at these situations.
The first reason is the unobvious excessive load on the device. What does unobvious mean? Watch when you are playing some "heavy" game or watching video in high quality, you, of course, understand that your smartphone is working to its fullest.
However, the user does not always notice how he fills up the device with a bunch of small tasks, the total load of which sometimes exceeds the load of one large task. Permanently enabled modules 3G, Wi-Fi, geolocation, open browser with a bunch of tabs, a lot of unclosed applications ... all this in a compartment can bring any gadget "to a white heat." However, in fairness, it is worth noting that relatively old i-smartphones usually heat up with such a “blockage”. In the "risk" group - iPhone 4S and "apple" phones released even earlier. But, for example, this should not happen with the iPhone 5S.
Understand that your iPhone 4S or another is heating up from a large number small tasks (and for the same reason the battery runs out quickly) is very simple. Unload your device as much as possible and see how it will behave. Still hot, and the charge goes through your fingers? So let's look for the problem further.
Poor "shrunk" firmware
Most users update iPhone firmware via Wi-Fi, however, even with stable signal And fast speed, any wireless network it fails from time to time, as a result of which, as they say, the pros - the firmware does not “fit” well on the device and there is a bunch of small conflicts between the system and the hardware in the process. With a similar layout, the iPhone, of course, can also get quite warm. And now this can already happen with every i-smartphone, regardless of age - with the iPhone 4, and with the iPhone 5S, and even with the flagship "seven".
Can you fix it yourself this problem? Yes! To do this, you just need to, as they say, reflash the device and do it not “over the air”, but through a PC.
Just before flashing, you need to turn off the “Find iPhone” option, to do this, open the “Settings” menu of the smartphone, then “General”, find the “iCloud” section, and turn off the slider in it opposite the “Find iPhone” line - when this function is turned off, the system will require you to enter Apple ID password - enter it and you're done.
Now you can do the firmware:
1 Connect iPhone to PC with iTunes. 2 As soon as the program detects the device, click on the icon in the form of a phone, go to the "Overview" tab. 3 Click the "Create a copy now" button.
In most cases, flashing with data recovery helps, but if the problem persists after it, move on.
Malware
iOS - the operating system on which all i-devices run is considered the most secure, but it is not ideal and the user is not 100% safe from viruses and malware. It is worth noting at the same time that, strictly speaking, any incorrectly working application that constantly crashes and strains the hardware in vain can be considered malware. It is quite difficult to identify the “enemy”, and therefore, in order to exclude this reason, we recommend, again, using iTunes to reflash the device, but do not restore the data from the copy and see how the “clean” smartphone will behave.
If everything is in order, then you can slowly reload it with information, applications and carefully monitor when it starts behaving unnaturally again - this way it is much easier to identify the “culprit”.
A special case
None of the above guides helped? Then one more recommendation - look, what model of device do you have? Maybe iPhone 5? In this case, we recommend visiting this page. The fact is that the iPhone 5 received cardinal changes in design compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 4S, and therefore its “insides” also changed significantly, they also touched the battery. Irregular manufacturing process led to the fact that a lot of users faced the problem “iPhone 5 heats up and quickly loses charge”.
Very soon, the "apple" giant admitted his guilt and established special program to replace defective batteries. Of course, today fives with buggy batteries are no longer produced, but suddenly you bought a “stale” fifth iPhone. So just in case, check if he can go through the replacement program. Note that the program only iPhone models 5, with iPhone battery 5S (despite similar body) similar problems was not observed.
When is it time to contact the service?
Well, now about the sad thing - if you could not solve the problem of iPhone overheating on your own, guided by the above instructions, you will have to contact the service, because here already, most likely problems in the hardware, but it’s hard to say which ones specifically - the battery may simply “die”, but problems with the power controller and other important functional units of the device are also possible.
Here, first of all, it will be necessary to diagnose the problem, and you cannot perform high-quality diagnostics on your own. Well, according to its results, you can decide whether to carry out repairs yourself or trust the pros here too.
Very often, the problem is a dying battery, and it is relevant. given reason unnatural behavior of the iPhone, even if the battery is still relatively new - well, let's say, it has only worked for six months. And the point here in most cases is not in a bad battery, but in its improper operation- the use of non-native chargers, constant discharge "in the wilderness" when it is recommended to connect the gadget to the charger with a balance of 20%, operation in conditions of sudden temperature changes - all these factors significantly reduce battery life. So if in your situation the problem was in the battery, try to spare at least a new one.
Let's summarize
So, there are many reasons why the iPhone can get warm and lose its charge. At the same time, if a similar picture is observed in the “aggressive” mode of operation, there is nothing surprising here, this is a completely natural behavior of the device. Also, the heating of the device during charging can be considered the norm. In other situations, you should start worrying and first try to fix the problem yourself, and if nothing works, go to the service.

many owners Apple smartphones worries about the fact that their iPhone is heated. Before thinking about a possible breakdown of the phone and visiting a service center, pay attention to the circumstances under which the iPhone gets hot.
What is the norm
For example, if the iPhone is heating up while charging, there is no reason to worry at all. Apple phones are mini-computers that consume great amount energy. They have such a device that cannot but heat up when charging. It is also absolutely normal for the iPhone to heat up slightly under the following circumstances:
- when watching a video for a long time
- when browsing the Internet and viewing several pages at once
- when using several programs at once (player, skype, geolocation)
- when using the camera in recording mode for a long time
Also, iPhones often heat up in such cases:
- using various programs for video editing or photo processing
- when playing games with modern graphics
- while talking on a smartphone connected to the charger
In a word, the harder the processor works and the more tasks it processes in one unit of time, the hotter the iPhone heats up.
Troubleshooting
By itself, heating the iPhone in the situations listed above is not terrible. It’s worth worrying only when, along with the heating of the iPhone case, there are other negative aspects of the work. mobile device. You may be thinking about repairing your apple if you notice the following signs of breakage:
- iPhone taking unusually long time to charge
- iPhone dies very fast
- iPhone shuts down abruptly as soon as it gets hot
- when the iPhone heats up, the display shows much worse, the speakers do not work well
The causes of heating in these cases may be battery malfunctions or other problems with the hardware of the device. Internal problems occur when the case is damaged or water enters the iPhone. The causes of internal problems in which the device is very hot can also be repeated use charger, which is not native to your apple model.
Prevention measures
If your iPhone is heating up and you think it's unnaturally hot, make sure you follow the rules for using it properly. Smartphones rarely get warm if you:
- charge the iPhone with the “native” cord for the prescribed time (switch off immediately after the battery is full)
- do not allow situations in which the smartphone is discharged to zero
- do not leave the phone to overheat in the sun
- turn off functions you do not need in standby mode (geolocation, search for Wi-Fi)
- while playing games or watching videos, let the phone “rest” after several hours of constant work
These operating rules are especially relevant for owners of older models of Apple smartphones, which heat up much more often and faster than more later versions"apples".
Repair types
Only a professional can determine the cause of your phone failure if it becomes unnaturally hot during operation. Most often, the battery is to blame in these cases, especially if the smartphone quickly sits down or involuntarily turns off after it has warmed up. The battery cannot be repaired, it is simply changed. The battery can be replaced within minutes, so you won't have to spend a lot of time on repairs.
You can fix the problem yourself by replacing the battery at home. However, at the same time, a professional will check the health of such phone modules as:
- screen
