You need to define “too much”. The phone has built in temperature protection. If the internal temperature gets too high the phone shuts down and displays a message saying it needs to cool off. If this doesn’t happen the temperature rise is not “too much”.

You are stuck with the 2nd law of thermodynamics; anything that does “work” generates heat. The more work, the more heat. So fast charging anything will generate more heat than slow charging; using apps that are more complex (like watching videos or playing interactive games) will also generate more heat. Also, for an iPhone 12 or 13 a 5G connection takes much more energy than a 4G/LTE connection, so if you are using 5G data expect the phone to get warmer than if you are using Wi-Fi or LTE.


If the phone gets too hot to hold, however, that is not normal, and the phone should be checked for hardware faults.
