The camera control button on my iPhone 16 pro max got hot after updating to iOS 18.2.1, it's so hot that it feels like it's burning when you touch it, I tried to turn off the phone and it cooled down, but as soon as I turned on the phone it got hot again. Does anyone know what this is due to and how I can solve it?
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
I went to the Apple technical support, they try re-installing the software as the issue started after the update, however, after the re-installment the camera button kept getting burning hot, so they run a full diagnosis and found out that there was a physical problem with the button that make the temperature rise and that could be making the baterry drowning down so fast, so the technician told me that a replacement would be needed. So they are replacing the whole section where the button is, which according them includes the battery. So I’m waitting for they return the phone fixed. If you are experiencing the same issue my advice is go to the technical support and get a full diagnosis.
Glad to hear the issue was resolved.
Can be defected button I think and it’s also a reason of discharge the battery

My experience says this is purely caused by some third-party app that you may have installed.
I am not aware of the ambient temperature in which you are using the iPhone. However --> Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable ...
Store the device where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.
Use iOS devices where the ambient temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might cause the device to change its behavior to regulate its temperature. Using an iOS device in very cold conditions outside of its operating range might temporarily shorten battery life and could cause the device to turn off. Battery life will return to normal when you bring the device back to higher ambient temperatures. Using an iOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.
