Magsafe and iphone 12 super slow and overheated

Magsafe charger with iphone 12 is super slow and also heats up a lot. Quite ridiculous for official products from the same family. Takes hours to charge a few % . Extremely disappointing. How can 3rd party chargers be better ?

Hello itay17,


We'd like to help with these issues.


If your iPhone is charging slowly, you will want to make sure that you're using a power adapter that is 20 watt (W) or greater. You can read more about this here: How to use your MagSafe Charger with iPhone 14, iPhone 13, and iPhone 12 models


As for the issue with your iPhone being warm, does a temperature warning screen appear? If so, please check out the details in this link, which explains what to do in that situation: If your iPhone or iPad gets too hot or too cold


If a temperature warning screen appears

If your device exceeds a certain temperature threshold, it will present a temperature warning screen similar to this:

Image shows temperature warning.

An iPhone showing this message might still be able to make emergency calls.

To resume use of your device as quickly as possible, turn it off, move it to a cooler environment (away from direct sunlight), and allow it to cool down.



If you need additional assistance, please contact Apple Support for help. You may be able to reach them here: Contact Apple Support


Thanks!
