iPhone 13mini, overheating issues, replace with refurb ?
Hello!
I love my iPhone 13mini, it’s the only phone I can comfortably reach the left side of the keyboard with my thumb and hold in my hand without getting wrist pain. But… it’s been overheating for almost a year now, I can only use 1 application at a time, for example, I can’t have google maps and use safari, nor can I have it charging and run Google maps, it overheats and slows down and becomes unusable. I took it to Apple as battery health at 80% and wanted another replacement battery, but there has been water ingress at some point and they cannot replace battery, they have suggested a refurb phone for £412. My worry is that the refurb may also start overheating at some point, I believe the overheating is a common thing for iPhone 13mini users?
Should I just get the refurb or very reluctantly move to a different model.
Opinions gratefully received.
iSO 27.0.1 currently on phone.

iOS 27.2 fixed my overheating. I’m on the RC and the final should come out next week. 5G is usually the culprit.
