Apple acknowledged the issue late last week after a slew of complaints from users, who said their iPhones occasionally get uncomfortably hot.

“We have identified a few conditions which can cause the iPhone to run warmer than expected. The device may feel warmer during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device because of increased background activity,” the company told Forbes.
