What to Do When Your iPhone Is Heating up and the Battery Is Draining Quickly?

It is normal for your phone to warm up slightly with prolonged use or during charging, and long sessions of use can also put a pretty good dent in your battery’s charge level. Your iPhone may also feel slightly warm during its initial startup when initiating an iOS backup, when updating apps after an iOS update, or when using graphic-intensive apps. However, if your phone is getting excessively hot, even if only used slightly, and the battery is draining even when not being used, this could signal a serious problem that would require professional iPhone repair.

Where to Repair Your iPhone With Apple Stores Closed Due to COVID-19?

On March 13, 2020, Apple announced they would be closing their retail stores due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally, they stated they would be open again by March 27th, but they later released a statement saying that their Apple stores would remain closed until further notice. If you were one of the unlucky people who dropped your phone off for service just before the closing announcement, Apple has stated that the repairs will not be conducted until the retail stores reopen, and they will probably need extra time to make repairs since they will be backed up with repair orders.
