Getting warm: iPhone X cool down - here's how it works

It's perfectly normal for the iPhone X to get a little warm while you're using some apps. However, if the heat increases sharply or is noticeable even when the iPhone has not been used, you should get to the bottom of it.

Why is my iPhone X getting warm?

To make your iPhone work exactly the way you're used to, many different processes take place that you as a user hardly notice. The CPU heats up when you are particularly demanding a lot of computing power from your iPhone X at the moment. In addition, the battery of the iPhone X often gets warm during use, so a bit of heat is quite normal - especially when you are playing a mobile game or have been on the phone for a while. The iPhone X also gets warm when downloading and installing apps, music, etc. or uploading to the iCloud. Since these processes sometimes run unnoticed, some users wonder about the heat of the device when it was apparently not in use.

iPhone X overheats - what to do?

If the iPhone X runs too hot, you will see a warning message. It is also possible that the device simply switches itself off. If this is the case, you should leave it in a shady place for a while. Wait until the device has cooled down noticeably before switching it on again. If the problem appears once, you can simply close some apps and everything should be fine. Bleibt das Problem bestehen, ist wahrscheinlich die Hardware defekt. Dann hilft nur eine Reparatur.
