iPhone 13 Pro Max Getting Too Hot?
It's normal for the iPhone 13 Pro Max to get slightly warm during intensive tasks like video recording, gaming, or charging wirelessly. However, if your phone is becoming too hot to hold comfortably, showing an overheating warning, or getting hot during basic tasks, there's an underlying issue that needs attention. Persistent overheating can permanently damage your battery and — in severe cases — the logic board.
