Thanks to all who offered solutions. I am not new to iphones or tech in general. Have tried the usuals. Phone has never behaved this way on previous updates. My partner is also experiencing the same. I used to work in software debugging. Not the same, but I understand updates may fix issues while sometimes creating issues. It happens.
Thanks for the understanding, and you’re welcome. Don’t worry as it’ll go away soon.

Hey, had the same exact issue. The only thing that temp solved it for me was turning on low battery mode all the time. But, after today’s 18.4.1 update, the issue seems to be gone.
If your iPhone really were “too hot to handle”, it would display a “Temperature Warning” or “Charging on Hold” message, thus shutting down and preventing you from using the iPhone.
After an update, your iPhone has lots of additional background tasks to complete. This can cause an increased battery drain and thermal temperatures. Give it some time and your iPhone will return to normal.

I am having the same issue. After iOS update my phone is overheating when it hasn’t done so since the initial iOS fix for a similar overheating issue. I’m also not new to iPhones and have tried all usual fixes. Since this was a known issue that was once corrected with an iOS update, I suspect the recent update is the cause of this new issue.
You are welcome.
Hello~ I…on the other hand am fully updated and have no overheating issues whatsoever.
