During the summer season, you might experience issues with your Apple^® devices as a result of increased temperatures. Your iPhone^®, in particular, may display a warning message about the heat and automatically shut off, meaning you’ll have to wait for it to cool before you reboot it. Here are a handful of ways to prevent your smartphone from overheating throughout the warm months.

4 Ways to Keep Your Phone From Overheating

1. Stay Out of Direct Sunlight

Using your phone in direct sunlight is one of the quickest ways to cause overheating. If you plan to hang out at the park, beach, or pool, keep your phone in your bag or pants pocket. When you need to use it, go indoors or move to a shaded area. 

2. Don’t Leave It in Your Car

The temperature within vehicles is often several degrees hotter than outdoors. If you leave your phone in your car, even in the glove box or center console, it will likely overheat, which drains the battery and decreases its life span. Keep your phone with you at all times to keep it out of the intense heat. 

3. Turn Off Bluetooth^® 

Since Bluetooth uses excess power, your phone may overheat during the summer if you always leave it on. Turn off Bluetooth when you’re not using it.

4. Give It a Rest 

During the warm summer months, try to give your phone a rest as often as possible. While you’re in class or at work, turn off your phone or switch to low power mode to preserve battery life.
