Which is odd because it haad a full charge when i went to bed. It was hotter than ANY electronic device I had ever used! I dont understand why it got so hot!

So i restarted the phone and it started to cool down slowly. I put it on the charger for about an hour and it stayed relatively cool. but why was the battery almost totally dead and why was it so hot?

Has anyone experienced something similar? or know why it was burning hot and had drained the battery entirely?

Here's what I don't understand....
You titled this thread as it were a statement, or some explanation, and it's nothing but YOU asking US WHY it gets hot. I read your entire post, hoping to maybe get some explanation behind the "hot iPhone" issue, in case I ever run into it.
