First of all I want to tell you that it is recommended by Apple itself to use your iPhone in places with a temperature between 0 and 35 ° C as in case of excessive heat or cold the device may vary its performance to regulate the temperature. . In the event of excessively low temperatures, the battery life may temporarily change and this may also cause the device to shut down and normal battery life will be restored as soon as the smartphone is brought back to higher ambient temperatures. On the other hand, if temperatures are too high, the battery life could be permanently compromised.
Possible causes of overheating
Il overheating of the device may occur during charging or in various cases during use. Here are some possible causes of overheating:
- During the initial configuration of the device;
- When the apps re-index o rianalizzano data, for example immediately after updating the software or any application;

- When you use augmented reality applications or more generally applications that require aintense graphic activity.
These are the normal conditions under which it is possible for your device to overheat, and as soon as you finish these operations, the device will return to a regular temperature.
Here are some examples where ambient temperature could cause your iPhone to overheat:
- Use some applications in the presence of high temperatures o direct sunlight for extended periods, such as GPS navigation or games that require high graphics activity;
- Leave the device in the car on particularly hot days or forget it for a long time in direct sunlight.
What happens if the device overheats
If the temperature exceeds the normal operating range, the device will take precautions to protect its internal components, and if this happens you may notice the following changes:
- The screen gets dimmer;
- Charging, including wireless charging, slows down or even stops;
- You will not be able to use the camera flash;
- The radios enter a low-energy state and the signal weakens;
- Apps that require more graphics activity and in general the whole device slows down.
Also, if you are using the assisted navigation, the screen will turn off but the navigator will continue to provide audio step-by-step directions, and as soon as you approach a turn, the screen will light up to help you on the path to follow.
