Anyone else’s iPhone 16 getting hot and swollen after the iOS 18.1 update?

Apple’s design with ‘AI’ at its best :man_facepalming:

Yeah, it’s bad at what it’s supposed to do best.

And they even delayed the EU release. Lucky us :man_facepalming:

@Emil
Really hoping the overheating stops with the next updates.

This could get a lot of views in the battery issue section, but seriously, get a replacement.

Definitely, go for it .

Which AI tools did you use in Photos? This is a serious problem… get a replacement quickly.

Just used the cleanup tool, and it started overheating. Then it froze for a bit.

@Dana
Mine also heats up using cleanup. Not sure if that’s normal.

Not sure if it’s the AI tools causing it, though.

Whoa, sounds like your battery is done for. Replace it right away.

You could try to tap it with a hammer to fit the battery back in.

Haha, was actually thinking about running it over with my car to fix the bulge.

Guess it’s turning into a little pillow.

Nah, next it’ll probably pop out a mini iPhone.

35

Did you max out your storage?

Kidding aside, it’s probably the battery.

Pretty sure I maxed out my budget on AI stuff :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Did the IDF call about your phone?

Haha, no way… don’t think they’re ready for this ‘cutting-edge’ tech.

Happened to one of my old iPhones too. I contacted Asurion, and they sent a brand-new phone, no questions asked.

You should head to the store as soon as possible if it’s still under warranty.
