Excessive heat (primary cause), from prolonged exposure to high temperatures or heavy usage, can damage the motherboard's components and cause it to stop working.


Also, exposure to liquids, such as water or other fluids, can short-circuit the motherboard and render it inoperative.



I am not aware of the ambient temperature in which you were using the iPhone. However --> Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable ...


Store the device where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.


Use iOS devices where the ambient temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might cause the device to change its behavior to regulate its temperature. Using an iOS device in very cold conditions outside of its operating range might temporarily shorten battery life and could cause the device to turn off. Battery life will return to normal when you bring the device back to higher ambient temperatures. Using an iOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.
