Why is My iPhone and Power Bank Getting Too Hot?Updated 8 months ago

1. Why does my iPhone get hot?

• Apple strongly advises against using iPhones in extreme temperatures, particularly in hot weather or direct sunlight. According to Apple, iPhones are designed to operate best within a temperature range of 0º to 35º C (32º to 95º F). Exposing your device to temperatures outside this range, especially in very hot conditions, can lead to several issues including permanent battery life reduction and temporary performance changes to protect internal components. Specifically, Apple suggests avoiding leaving your iPhone in a car on a hot day or using it in direct sunlight for extended periods, such as while navigating or playing graphics-intensive games (Apple Support).

2. Why does my Power Bank get hot?

• High Current Draw: Charging devices that require a lot of power can cause the power bank to heat up. This is normal as the battery inside the power bank is working hard to supply power.
• Environmental Conditions: Similar to your iPhone, the power bank can get hot if used in high temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Charging While In Use: If you are using your power bank to charge devices while it is also being recharged, this can generate excess heat.
• Warning: We strongly advise against using the ReClassic Power Bank in extreme temperatures, particularly in hot weather or direct sunlight. Exposing your device to temperatures outside the recommended range, especially in very hot conditions, can cause your device to get hot. Specifically, avoid leaving your phone charging with the power bank in a car on a hot day or using it in direct sunlight for extended periods, such as while navigating or playing graphics-intensive games. This precaution helps prevent overheating and potential damage to your devices.

3. What should I do if my iPhone gets too hot?

• Move to a Cooler Location: Immediately move your iPhone to a cooler environment, away from direct sunlight.
• Turn Off Unnecessary Features: Turn off features like GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi if they are not needed.
• Close Intensive Apps: Close apps that are using a lot of processing power.
• Remove Case: Temporarily remove your iPhone case to help dissipate heat.

4. What should I do if my power bank gets too hot?

• Stop Charging: Disconnect any devices from the power bank and allow it to cool down.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep the power bank out of direct sunlight and high-temperature environments.

5. How can I prevent overheating in the future?

• Avoid High Temperatures: Try not to use or charge your iPhone or power bank in extreme temperatures.
• Use Original Chargers: Use original or certified chargers and cables to ensure efficient charging.
• Monitor Usage: Be mindful of how long and for what purposes you use your devices, especially in warm environments.
