I've been experiencing a concerning issue with my phone for the past four months. It gets so hot that it's painful to touch, to the point where I've resorted to using ice cubes or putting it in the freezer for a few minutes to cool it down. How serious should I be about this condition?

If you're gaming on an older model, that could explain the heat, but still not a good sign. The heat is an indication that your phone is working hard to cool itself down. It's better to monitor the temperature with some software, and if it's consistently overheating, it's time for a new phone.
Honestly, it sounds like a serious issue. If it's an iPhone 13 like you mentioned, it shouldn't be heating up that much. This could be a battery problem, which can be dangerous. I'd recommend you safely dispose of it and get a replacement.
It's definitely not normal for your phone to get that hot; it shouldn't be painful to hold at all. Putting it in the freezer is a bad idea—it could cause condensation that might damage your phone. What model are you using?
