Stop iPhone Overheating During Outdoor Use in Summer

 iPhones can overheat when exposed to direct sunlight or heavy usage during hot summer days. Overheating affects performance, battery life, and may temporarily disable features. Here’s how to prevent it.


1. Keep Your iPhone Out of Direct Sunlight

  • Avoid leaving your iPhone on dashboards, beach chairs, or in cars under the sun.

  • Use a shade, umbrella, or hat when using it outdoors.


2. Reduce Intensive Usage

  • Avoid gaming, GPS navigation, or video streaming for extended periods in hot environments.

  • Close background apps consuming high processing power.

  • Lower screen brightness: Settings → Display & Brightness → Reduce Brightness.


3. Enable Low Power Mode

  • Go to Settings → Battery → Low Power Mode → On.

  • Low Power Mode reduces performance and background activity, helping keep the iPhone cooler.


4. Remove Case Temporarily

Some cases trap heat. If your iPhone feels hot:

  • Remove the case while outdoors.

  • Make sure it has proper ventilation when charging or using heavy apps.


5. Turn Off Unnecessary Features


OnePlus Tip

If your iPhone shows the temperature warning (screen turns black with a thermometer icon), immediately move it to a cool place, pause charging, and let it rest. Regularly practicing these tips during summer keeps your iPhone safe and performant.
