iOS 18 overheating?

For context, I sort of fixed my phone’s heating issue back on iOS 17 by removing the weather widget which was apparently always using the location services even when in the background, which was causing the phone to overheat like crazy.

Fast forward to iOS 18, no matter what I do, it gets crazy hot and is super uncomfortable to hold and is draining the juice (b@tt) like a mf and idk what to do. Please help I’ve tried everything from turning off background app refresh to location services, resetting the phone’s settings, restarting the phone.

What about Apple Intelligence?

Turned it off about a week ago but not seeing any difference in the heating problem.

I think you should run a diagnosis. You can do this through the Apple Support app by opening a chat with them. If there is anything wrong with your phone they will let you know. Apple Intelligence made my battery significantly worse but heat wasn’t an issue for me. Hope you find a solution coz I know how frustrating it can get.

Mine doesn’t overheat but idle drain at night is too much. I left at 80% and received at 63%.

I had the same issue along with battery drain. I turned off Apple Intelligence and the heating and battery drain issues seem to have minimized.
