Here’s How to Keep Your Cellphone From Overheating in the Summer
Apple, Samsung, and Google recommend turning off devices and avoiding resource-heavy apps to prevent overheating that can shorten battery life during heatwaves, experts say.
- Experts warn that electronic devices like phones and tablets can overheat during heatwaves affecting regions including the U.S. Southeast and Southern Europe in 2025.
- This overheating risk arises because devices operate best between 0 and 35 degrees Celsius, and extended exposure above this range can damage batteries and trigger behavior changes.
- Manufacturers advise users to stop using phones if they become too hot to hold, avoid resource-heavy features like GPS navigation or gaming in the heat, and never refrigerate devices to prevent condensation damage.
- Overheating iPhones and Android devices display warnings to cool down, dim screens, close apps, and pause charging, while Curry's experts note background processes also generate heat.
- Following these guidelines can help users avoid permanent battery damage and maintain device performance during periods of extreme heat this summer.
