Does the iPhone 5 really get hot? - 1

Thinking about upgrading my iPhone 4S to the 5. But saw some users on forums reporting that phone get stove-hot during web browsing, and such.

They're just exaggerating. Sure, it can get a little hot though, but that's only if you're doing some intense activities that causes the CPU to run like crazy (games, watching videos, browsing, etc.) Hope this helped.

All smartphones do this though so it's no cause for concern. Don't worry too much about it and remember not to let it get hot for too long if you want the phone to continue working the way you want it to.
