The current temperature in Amman is around 32°C, and many people are heading to parks and beaches to enjoy the weather. This means our iPhones will also be exposed to these conditions. The UK Health Security Agency has issued a red health warning covering areas such as the West Midlands, East Midlands, Southeast, Southwest, London, and East England, indicating increased health risks for the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions.

To protect our smartphones, whether iPhone or Android, from heat damage in such hot weather, here are seven important tips:
Seven Ways to Protect Your Smartphone in Hot Weather:
Keep it out of direct sunlight: Avoid leaving your iPhone or any other smartphone under direct sunlight. Prolonged use in the sun can cause it to overheat significantly, leading to permanent battery damage and reduced lifespan. Apple has even warned that excessive iPhone heat “can permanently shorten battery life.”
Remove the case: Phone cases can act as an insulating layer that traps heat, especially those made of leather or rubber. On hot days, it may help to remove the case to allow the phone to cool more effectively.
Temporarily turn off your phone: If you notice your phone getting very hot, turning it off for a few minutes can help it cool down and prevent long-term damage to the processor, battery, and other components that heat up quickly.
Adjust screen settings: Lowering your phone screen brightness reduces battery consumption and thus decreases heat production. This simple step can make a noticeable difference.
Avoid intensive app usage: Using energy-heavy apps such as high-graphics games or GPS tracking for long periods can cause your phone to heat up rapidly. Try to avoid these apps or reduce their usage time in hot weather.
Additional tip: Never leave your phone inside a parked car under the sun, as temperatures inside can rise significantly beyond the safe operating limit for your device.
