My USB adaptor on my iPhone charging cable gets really hot (50 Celsius) when charging my iPhone 4. If I use my iPod USB adaptor, it only reaches 30 Celsius. I got a replacement USB adaptor from Apple and it too reaches 50 Celsius. Is this normal or did I get another bad adaptor?
iPhone 4 (8GB), iOS 5.1.1
what get hot?
do you connect the usb to a computer and the connector and wire get 50c hot?
or
do you connect it to an AC source and the ac transformer get 50c hot?
Mine got so hot it started burning inside when I disconnected. Took phone and connector to the apple store and got a new phone and connector as it was a safety issue. Everything fine for the moment. PS. IPhone 4s.
This is when the iPhone is plugged in to a wall outlet. The USB adaptor is the part that gets hot - the connecting cable is fine. I tried using my iPhone connecting cable with the iPod USB adaptor, and that USB adaptor still only got to 30 celsius. So something is definitely up with the iPhone USB adaptor. I have tried it in various wall outlets and it always gets hot.
I have searched Apple support to try to find operating specs on the USB adaptor to see if 50 celsius is acceptable, but can't find anything.
sounds dodgy to me but I personaly dont use the iphone ac charger I have charging docks and use the ipad 10watt ac chargers so i don't have much exp with the tiny iphone ac charger
Does anyone else's USB adaptor on the charging cable get really hot when charging your iPhone?
