Mine is warmer too. But that is not my main problem.

Problem is apple advertised it as 25% brighter than 6s. When I cranked up the brightness on both, 7 plus was noticibly not as bright as the 6s.

Did a search and many at Macrumours forum are experiencing this as well. Including one who claim that he was informed that apple screwed up and shipped without updating to the latest firmware and phone needs to be brought in to the store to upgrade firmware

I am having this issue as well. My screen is yellowish compared to my iPhone 6. I am on iOS 10.0.1. Feels like returning it to Apple, disappointing.

Charging phone and connecting to iTunes - the phone got incredibly hot - at one point it was hot to the point where it could not be touched.

Also took incredibly long to sync.

Day 1 only.

Configuring some settings in the 7 and the back of the phone feels warm. I have a SE and it does not feel this warm. Do yours feel warm while configuring setting?

Also, just realized mine come with iOS 10 and not 10.0.1.

If you meant by the setup process or initial sync then yes. It got quite hot. But after that it's back to normal. Mine came with 10 as well and had to manually update the latest one.

Which one you use? I think we have to select the exact one to use, cannot select Color Tint option and change.

I tried using the Blue/Yellow option and adjust but it looks too vibrant for blue color, seems not easy to get back that cool look without distorting Colours.

I Google and found that it's warmer because of the wider Color gamut?
