I’m starting to think maybe I shouldn’t have chosen to rely completely on MagSafe charging… (iPhone not charging because of high temp) (alien.top)

The iPhone does not heat up due to charging. You keep it in a hot environment, that’s the problem

False. Wireless charging regardless of method (qi or MagSafe) causes heat in the device and charging coils. This is part of the ecosystem, no way around it. It’s extremely inefficient.

It absolutely does heat up due to charging. Wireless charging is less efficient because more of the energy is wasted into heat.
