I can understand the concern, but your phone isn't overheating. We ALL get this message now, when we use Fast Charging. The phone is charging up to a certain level, then the phone will tell you charging will resume when the phone is cooler. That doesn't say or mean the phone is overheating. It is Apple Speak for ensuring there is no possibility heat could prematurely age your battery and is not cause for concern. Again, we ALL get this now.


If your phone was actually overheating, it would be display a thermometer on the screen and tell you you can't use the phone until it cools down.
