Why Your iPhone is Overheating After the Update

from Phonegram News

Did your iPhone suddenly turn into a pocket heater after the update? Don't panic. Your phone isn't broken. It's just paying Apple's temporary software tax. Right after a massive update, your iPhone works overtime in the background. It's re-indexing millions of files, scanning your entire photo library, and syncing databases. That drains your battery and tanks your frame rates. Give it twenty-four hours to settle down. Pop that thick protective case off so the heat can escape. Can't even see the update? Make sure you have at least twenty-five gigabytes of free space. Apple also loves hiding the major upgrade at the very bottom of the screen. If your favorite apps keep crashing, update them all right away in the App Store. Be patient. Your buttery-smooth iPhone will be back by tomorrow.
