At high temperatures, the iPhone or iPad can suddenly switch off due to overheating. What should you do to prevent an overheated iPhone or iPad? And how do you cool your iDevice the fastest? In this article, we will show you the 7 solutions to fix your iPhone overheating problems.
The iPhone and iPad perform at their best between 0 and 35 degrees Celsius. At higher temperatures, a message may appear on the screen that the iPhone needs to cool down.
If you use iPhone for a long time outside the specified temperatures, then that is obviously harmful to the battery. The iPhone is not broken by it, but the battery gradually gets shorter and shorter. If the temperature is too high, a message appears on the screen, as shown in the above image. You have to let the iPhone cool down before you can use it again. Sometimes only the flash function cannot be used. After a few minutes, the iPhone has cooled sufficiently and you can use it again.
Causes of iPhone or iPad Overheating
An overheated iPhone can be caused by:
- Leave the iPhone in a bright sunlight: On the beach or terrace, the temperatures can quickly rise to above 35 degrees.
- Leave the iPhone on the dashboard or in other closed rooms: In bright sun, the temperature in a closed room can rise sharply. A greenhouse effect is created by the glass of the car.
- Forgot the camera app to turn off: If you forget to turn off the camera app and then you put the device in your pocket, the iPhone can become very hot. The camera always remains active and that also costs battery life.
- Cancel the navigation app: Apps that use GPS and display map material on the screen are a big drain on the battery. Moreover, the iPhone can become hot.
- Charging with defective charger: Especially with cheap chargers, the iPhone can become very hot during charging. Choose an official, approved charger from a good brand.
- iPhone in a closed case: The case holds the heat, especially on the case with thick protective layer against falling.
What happens if your iPhone gets too hot?
As soon as the iPhone gets too hot, a message appears with the text 'Temperature' and an instruction to let the device cool. You can no longer use the iPhone during this cooling-off period. During this period:
- The screen of the iPhone turns black. If you are navigating, a message will appear on the map (as shown in the above image).
- Cannot charge your iPhone temporarily.
- Wireless functions will switch to the energy-saving mode; it is possible that you can not be reached in this period via telephone, SMS or iMessage. Emergency conversations are still possible.
- You can not use the camera and the flash temporarily.
Solutions to Fix your iPhone Overheating Problems
If you get the message as shown in the image at the top of this article, then the solution is cooling down the iPhone. The solutions are actually quite simple:
- Switch the iPhone off completely (if that still works). Then no background processes are active anymore and the iPhone has plenty of time to cool down. Check after about 15 minutes if the problem has already been solved.
- Place the iPhone in a shady place, for example indoors or in a place where it is blowing so the heat can escape.
- Turn off Bluetooth, location services, and other power-hungry functions.
- Do not use the camera temporarily. Displaying real-time images via the camera finder costs processing power.
- Do not play games temporarily. Games provide an extra load for the processor, which makes the iPhone less able to cool.
- Do not use navigation apps or other processor-intensive apps temporarily.
- Turn on flight mode so that GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and mobile data usage are turned off and the iPhone is more likely to cool down.
