Usually, electronic gadgets heat up on overuse or when the temperature is high outside. However, when I was at the top of the hill, and the temperature was high, the following message displayed that iPhone X needs to cool down before using it. There are several reasons: insufficient power supply, defective lightning cable or adapter, third-party application causing trouble, direct exposure to sunlight, and more. Unfortunately, it isn’t easy to figure out why iPhone XS Max needs to cool down before using its message.
However, the iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it appears right after the direct contact with hot temperature, possibly because of a hardware malfunction or some system glitch. So there is only one way out of it, restore the iPhone to factory settings. Restoring iPhone to factory settings may eliminate iPhone XS, or iPhone XR needs to cool down before you can use it or Old iPhone models. So kindly take back up of your device to prevent data loss and then follow the below steps to wipe out the iPhone.
