My iPhone is getting hot, why?
Your iPhone gets hot because the battery and other hardware inside generate heat whenever your phone is working, even if it’s just charging. Your iPhone is designed to dissipate heat, but an old battery, too many apps running, and even direct sunlight can make your phone overheat. Obviously a little warmth is fine, but if the device feels like its burning, then yes we'd agree there is something wrong. The battery could be causing internal components of the device to be affected or there could be a software defect that is making your processor run at maximum power, consistently.
