iPhone 5 Overheating

    My iPhone 5 has been overheating badly for the last few days.

    I haven't installed any new apps or anything unusual. I googled the problem and tried:
    - turning off location services
    - turning off icloud backup
    - restoring from icloud backup
    - restoring to factory settings
    - deleting apps
    - checking usage and diagnostics (all normal)

    Nothing seems to have worked. It's fine (even while charging) as long as it isn't being used.
    As soon as I start using it - even for texts, within about 5 mins it starts to get seriously hot.

    Any ideas what could be wrong? Would a battery replacement fix the issue?
    Any suggestions would be great, thanks :)

    Do you use the original charger? I had the same problem and it was because I didn't use an original charger

    I do, yeah. It doesn't heat up while charging at all - only with use.

    Two things:

    1. It's been much hotter than usual lately. Your hands are probably warmer, and holding a warm phone will warm it more, so it's catch 22.

    2. If it gets too hot, it'll shut down and tell you it's too warm. Has it got to that stage yet? And have you noticed any increased battery drain?

    That's true about the heat - although I have poor circulation and the phone gets extremely hot - almost too hot to hold at times.
    It hasn't shut down or given a warning though - maybe it'll improve when the weather cools down a bit. This is Ireland though, an people in much hotter countries seem to be able to use the iPhone without any major overheating issues.
