Iphone getting incredibly hot while wirelessly charging

Hello,


I've had my Iphone 13 pro for close to 2 years now. I've primarily wirelessly charged it for the duration of this time. But about a week ago i picked up my phone from it's usual charger, and it was very hot. Hot enough to disable the option to turn on the flash-light.


It doesn't get anywhere near as hot when i charge it via the included cable. So i can work around it which is no big deal.


But this has left me wondering what would cause this after all this time? I haven't downloaded any new apps, i haven't changed anything about my setup. Why now?


Thanks in advance!

iPhone 13 Pro

Some activities such as charging or a lot of computational activity, generate heat. Some warmth is to be anticipated.* Read this article about keeping your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures - If your iPhone or iPad gets too hot or too cold - Apple Support


I would also review your Battery Health in Settings. See if there are particular apps that are running all the time that are using large amounts of power.


If you think there is a problem with a device, have Apple inspect it. Go to this page to find your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Apple Authorized Distributor (AAD) --> Find Locations
