Battery and overheating issues (brand new iPhone 16e)

Hello, I just bought an iPhone 16e, upgrading from an iPhone X, which had a very bad battery and overheating bugs obviously. So I had big expectations about 16e. My new phone was manufacturated in october 2025, so it already came in iOS 26. But it's battery barely lasts 7h (SOT) from 80% to 20% (I only use whatsapp, location services on background, bluetooth earpods, music apps, instagram, and that's it). Also, when it charges (I don't use it while it charges), I can't even hold it because it overheats. Should I wait for a couple days before contacting Apple services? I live in Brazil.

Updates: I contacted Apple services here in Brazil, and they told me to wait a couple days for the battery to settle in and adapt to my daily use. I saw some improvement from day 2 to day 3 as well. So if someone have been through the same situation I suggest to wait a couple days too.
