- simulator5g 10mo agoThey’re a joke, I used to have one in my car and the combination of sunlight & internally produced heat would make my phone shut off & display a “iPhone is too hot” message. Even when it’s cold outside.
- jwiz 10mo agoI think that's just sun+charging, not wireless charging specific.
- simulator5g 10mo agoI switched to wired charging with the phone mounted in the same spot and the heat issue went away. Wireless charging produces a lot more heat than wired.
- BLKNSLVR 10mo agoThat's really quite interesting. I know the wireless charging uses more power to deliver less power, so there's heat generation due to the loss of power in the transfer (I'm assuming that's how it works). But, I figured that the battery would heat up more the faster it's being charged, and so wired charging at the same wattage would heat the battery more than wireless charging. Must be a lot of power->heat transfer loss with wireless charging.

- BLKNSLVR 10mo agoSometimes the phone is warm, I wouldn't even say hot. Could be because I bought lower wattage wireless chargers - I don't need it to charge fast, I just need it to top up the battery. The only time my phone has given me a message about heat was, indeed, in a phone holder in the car, but it wasn't even charging. We are experiencing a heat wave in Australia right now though, and the car had been sitting in the sun in a car park for an hour.
