Hmmm guess I was just surprised it warmed up so easily so can anyone else confirm it warms up under the camera after using for 10+ minutes...

This happens to me all the time! Mine warms up after 30 mins of light use.
I've never had any problems until last week where I was using Google Maps during a 10-hour drive and it thermal-throttled like crazy. (It was plugged in at the same time though and it was a hot day so understandable)

One of the reason why i switched to the 8+. I used the X to tether to my nav phone in my car and when i also use the x in tether mode it would get so freaking hard that the screen would dim up to 50% lower brighness (i know is ios safety). Now with the 8+ doing the same thing, it doesnt get warm. Will wait for the Xplus a few weeks, ask question and read comment before deciding if i will buying it.

It's so annoying when it dims the brightness as you literally can't see anything. My 7+, though slower, would never do this.
I normally use CarPlay so I actually never experienced it until I rented a car with no CarPlay.

My phone gets quite warm when using carplay lol.

Anyone else experiencing easy heat up like us?

Mine gets quite hot when I use Portrait Mode to take photos, otherwise it doesn't get any hotter than expected. The bigger problem I have is that the screen becomes unresponsive to touch, which is becoming more and more frequent now and more and more annoying!
