I just replaced the screen on my iPhone 7 Plus. After the screen replacement I noticed that the proximity sensor was getting extremely hot when the phone was in use. Is this out of the ordinary? If so, what is the possible cause of this issue?
Is this a good question?

When i used to repair iPhones professionally overheating proximity sensors where pretty much always the result of a damaged flex cable or a component coming loose from the flex cable. You will have to replace it and it should solve your problem.

Thank you so much for your help! I was able to fix it by using a flex cable I had from my previous screen.
