I never experienced that, even when recording 20+ minutes of video on my 14 Pro Max... But I do not use 5G since the price and coverage isn't worth it where I live. Try asking a friend for a regular 4G sim and test the same activities to rule it out.

A “4G SIM” is a misnomer. A SIM card just authenticates you to the network, it does not provision 4G / 5G. You don’t need a “5G SIM” to access NR.

OP can disable 5G in Settings if their carrier’s carrier bundle allows for that. Cellular Data > Voice & Data > 4G

You’re right, I didn’t know you could disable 5G from the phone, I thought you had to ask your network provider. I meant as in “test with a sim that has 4G and not 5G enabled” Thank you for the info!

I don’t have a SIM card slot in my phone hahaha.. feels so weird to say that now.

But, I’ll try disabling 5G and see how it goes .

But I am surprised, because I do record for extended periods of time on my iPhone 14 pro and it always gets HOT.

To be honest I’ve tried long recording sessions 3 times only, and sure it gets warm but not hot to the point you described.

I’m going to bring it to the Apple Store soon to see if they agree
