Hey there CharlyBanch,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, it can be expected for your iPhone to feel warmer than usual when you wirelessly charge your device. You can find this information, and more details on when you might feel your iPhone get warm at this link here: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch gets too hot or too cold - Apple Support


Your device might get warm
You might notice that your device feels warmer when you:
- Set up your device the first time
- Restore from a backup
- Wirelessly charge your device
- Use graphics-intensive or processor-intensive apps, games, or features, including augmented-reality apps
- Stream high-quality video

These conditions are normal, and your device will return to a regular temperature when the process is complete or when you finish your activity. If your device doesn't display a temperature warning, you can keep using your device.


We hope that's able to help.


Have a great day!

It’s called the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Anything that creates or uses energy does so with some loss. That lost energy is expressed as heat. So when you charge the phone it generates heat in the power source, heat in the charger circuit in the phone, and heat as the energy goes into the battery. The faster the charging, the more heat is generated. Wireless charging is less efficient than charging using a cable, so the temperature rise will be higher than charging using a cable. Likewise when you discharge the battery; not all of the energy from the battery gets to the circuits that use it. Some of it becomes heat. That’s why the phone gets warm in use, also.
