IPhone 12. (New) Constantly overheats using Toyota supplied cables in new 2022 RAV 4. Phone does not overvheat when charging at home with same apps on. What should I look at to stop this, or what does Toyota need to change? Could the car be giving too much Voltage to phone if overheating happens with different cables.

I thought so too. for this week, I put Apple certified cables and my phone still got warm when charging ( for over 20 min’ of charge time). The outside temperatures were not excessively. I heard that some apps use up too much chip processing and this can lead to overheating. is there a way to check processing power used?
