Even while in my pocket.

Well, it is an apple product, what do you expect?

It will be fine shortly... good thing it wasnt Android. It would've melted. As a previous owner of a iphone 3gs and 4...and a current owner of a Samsung Note 2.. android is junk in my opinion... I headed back to the Iphone in September.

brag, has an iphone

i would think "in your pocket" would be contributing to the excessive heat, no?

All phones no matter who makes them do this.. It is a safety feature built into them, just like computers....

it just over heated has happened to me. Once it cools down it'll work fine.

what don't you like about android? samsung generally produce quality phones (samsung makes a large % of the iphone chips)

i don't see what the fuss is about ios vs android, both excellent OS's, and like many cars today, both are beginning to look a lot like each other

for me price is the main driver, so for $200 i bought a more than capable lte 5.5" android phone and pay $25/m for unlimited text,calls, and data (1gb at lte)

I am outside, working construction, with my Samsung note 2 in my pocket. It has NEVER overheated.
I have had this phone for almost 3 years now without any problems.
I am famous for rage smashing phones that mess up. This is the longest I have ever had a phone. I've had just about every flag ship model from every major manufacturer. I've rage smashed them all except the note 2. If it ever dies I will be getting whatever generation of note that's out.

Coworker dropped his note 4 out of a boom lift. It fell 40 feet, inside a case, of course, and it's absolutely fine.

I dropped my iphone 4, 2 feet onto carpet, and had to replace the shattered screen.

I've only gotten that message when I inadvertently left my iPhone in the car. A minute or two in the fridge, and it was good to go!

And some cars. We had a Nissan Rogue that went into "limp mode" when it got too hot going over the pass into California on day a couple years ago when it was 125 out. Something about the transmission fluid boiling. Limp mode kept the RPMs at 2K or less..

It's a good thing your phone has that message. The alternative is costly.
