It's not the heat, it's the increased use. when you're hardwired, you get enough power that your phone just bypasses the battery. If you use a charging mat, you still 'run' from battery. This means increased cycles which reduces battery life.
- lttlrck 8y agoHow is that? If the battery is charging then logically there must be enough residual power to run the phone. If there wasn’t then the battery would not charge at all unless you turned off the phone first, but it obviously does. Also a phone on a charging mat cannot easily be used and the screen will be off most of the time lowering power requirements.
- travv0 8y agoI'm pretty sure the point is that you are likely picking up the phone to use it, so during that time it's not charging.
