Magnetic phone case safe?

Hello,


I recently bought an iPhone 11, my second as I have another one I bought some months back. This new one gets quite warm while charging while my older one doesn’t. I was thinking maybe it could have something to do with the magnetic phone case I’m using for the newer one. It’s a wallet case with the inside case, the part that the holds the actual phone, held in place by a magnet which you can then take out of the outer wallet. Are magnetic cases safe for iPhones? Could it be what is causing the phone to get warm while charging?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

That’s not why it gets warm while charging, but a magnetic case can interfere with the compass and the image stabilization features of the camera.
