As long as the device was sold in the Apple Store, I would imagine that it is MFi certified. It would say so on the box. A larger capacity power converter like that will charge the iPhone faster, and in doing so with make the back of the iPhone feel warm. It is the chemical reaction in the battery while charging that causes that. Warm is not a problem, but if it gets too hot to hold, that could indicate a problem.
Okay, like I said in my first response, warm is expected, but hot indicates a problem. Of course how hot it gets can be subjective, but if you are concerned, then make a Genius Bar appointment at the nearest Apple Store and have it examined by Apple. The iPhone XR would still be under warranty.
Thanks fir your response.
yes, the power adapter was purchased from Apple store and it is MFi certified..
