Charging an iPhone with USB C will overheat it? Hi. I have mi iPhone 11 with an USB Type C cable, but without the power adapter, so I was going to buy one, but I was told that it's better to use a classic USB cable and adapter because "charging my iPhone with USB C will constantly overheat it, because it is fast charge and it's not good for the battery" . Is that true? Should I use the classic USB charger ? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
