Just got my new 12 pro and it is getting pretty hot while charging even while connected. On my Anker wireless charger which worked just fine for the XS I used before its even worse
Is it just me and I have a problem or is it a general issue and I should not worry too much
As someone else posted, I think this may be a “start-up” phenomenon with a new iPhone. My iPhone 12 mini was hot for the first day while it was revving up all the programs for the first time. Second day and onward, it cooled down and began to operate as expected, ie as iPhones usually do.
In other words, this seems to be a one-time event while initializing a new, more powerful iPhone.
Of course, if heating continues, you have a problem and need to get to an Apple store.
My iphone 12 mini gets hot when charging in the first 5-6 days from when I bought it now it s better but it still gets a little bit hot and from 90% it gets like really cold I think because the charging is slowing down to protect the battery lifespan.
My 12pro Max I’ve had fir a week now ... with the double mag charger. Only charge when battery is at 20 or lower and it’s still getting HOT .. its the worst for the battery health . No doubt about that. I hope Apple does a quick fix soon !
I just got my iphone 12 and kept it for charging for 5 minutes - it immediately became hot. Apple must resolve this issue !
Same with my iPhone 12 mini. It gets very hot whilst my XS does not have the same issue.
I experienced the same with my iPhone 12. While charging with an Apple 20W charger and Apple provided cable, the phone gets warm and I can hear sparks inside.
I got the iPhone 12 Pro Max , had a lot of heating issues and had to return it. They gave me another new 12 pro max and till heating up to the point I get worried about destroying my battery .
Same here, it’s the second day with my iPhone 12, charged it just for 10 minutes, the phone as well as the adapter got heated and the phone got heated from the left side, switched the side of the adapter but the issue is still there☹️. The adapter is iPhone 12’s manual.
The cable is not a charger. Arguably, the adapter (AC to DC) is not, either. The phones come with a cable but not an adapter. A “charger” is really the combination of a power source (usually an adapter, but sometimes a battery) and a cable. Although with modern iPhones, it could also be a Qi charger, which usually requires an adapter and cable or battery, too.
So “charger” is an ambiguous misnomer.
This makes sense... yes I’ve done all the restores , etc through the cloud ... I love the capability of mag charging my 12 pro Max and I watch simultaneously... it’s the rapid heating up bothering me . Tried one at a time ... still the same ! I truly hope your answer is tge right one ! Thanks !
Seems the case Apple really should fix this issue. They’re a great convenience, not cheap ... it does worry me about my battery in both my new 12 pro Max and I watch ... Apple please , would you please?
I just bought myself a brand new BMW Z4 with wireless charger. My iPhone 12 mini already ended up locking itself up in the ‘getting too hot jail’, effectively charging only +2%.
The dealership says to first contact Apple, because devices only use the power they designed to receive. It sounds reasonable, because a well designed circuit made for a same voltage level, but a lower current level will usually only take what is needed. Otherwise it gets in short or fire.
Now i found this thread, i know enough!
NB: the second time CarPlay and music were turned down.
It gets warm not hot.
same with my iphone 12 pro charging with mophie wireless charger ._.
Mines doing the same thing.
I have the same issue with my iPhone 12 mini.
