Why is my iPhone overheating and draining battery so fast?

Asked By TechieTurtle92 On

Hey everyone! This morning, my iPhone was super hot even though it was fully charged at 100%. It only cooled down when I turned it off and left it alone. Later in the day, I noticed it was still hot but the battery had dropped drastically to 5%! I didn't even use the phone much until then, and there were no apps running that could cause this. The battery drains incredibly fast — it goes from 20% to 17% in just a minute. It's even losing charge when it's powered off. Any ideas on what might be going on? I've tried clearing some data, but I can't get to a store anytime soon for help.

The overheating might not be just battery related. It could be due to software issues or a problem with the motherboard. You might want to explore those options too.

Check your phone's battery health by going to Settings > Battery > Health and Charging. If it's under 80%, it’s time for a replacement. If you have AppleCare+, the replacement should be covered for free!

Thanks for the tip! My battery health shows as 88%. Should I still be worried?
