apple 18w charger heating issue

Devices - iphone 11

A few days ago I bought an Apple 18w fast charger (apple gadget bd)! With 6 months warranty!

The phone is getting hot while charging! I do not understand how to explain the hot situation ! This is the kind of game that gets a little hot on Android while playing! At the time of charge, I charge by turning on Airplane mode! The back cover of the phone is open!

Is this hit ok or will it be a problem for the phone, and what should be done all together

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Don’t worry of heat if it’s below 95 degrees F (35 degrees C). You should remove your case while your iPhone is charging because it’s preventing from more heat. Battery should be replaced when the number in the circle on the picture below is 80% or lower. You can check it from: Settings > Battery > Battery Health. My is 97% for around five months of use of iPhone 11 Pro Max.

First photo is from the Apple site and it’s about temperatures.

Second photo is about the Battery Health.

It’s pretty normal. Sometimes my iPhone 11 Pro Max is getting hot too. It’s because of the fast charging. When airplane mode is turned on charging is even faster and it’s common to get hotter.
