iPhone 12 mini How hot does the iPhone 12 mini get when being charged with a MagSafe charger?

This is a question specifically for those of you who own a iPhone 12 mini and charge it with the Apple MagSafe charger + 20watt adaptor.​

Would you say the phone gets uncomfortably hot, or only very warm? (please indicate whether you are charging the phone with a case or sleeve, or charging it without any case/sleeve).

How would the heat generated compare to charging the phone with a wired with a Lightning cable + 20W adaptor?

I have a 12 Pro but in my experience the phone gets quite warm. The puck however gets uncomfortably hot.

Thanks for the feedback. Are you using a case on the phone when charging?

12 Mini with Apple leather MagSafe case and charged with MagSafe charger using 20 watt adapter. The phone gets warm, not hot. I’ve never charged it with lightning and 20 watt.

Mine is warm I still use it. Its definitely warmer than even fast charging on pd usb-c to lighting.

I just charged my Mini using the 20 watt adapter and the USB-C to Lightning cable. Phone is much cooler than when using MagSafe.

Yes, when charging with a cable, the phone is much cooler versus charging wirelessly.

@Bazooka-joe Are you using the MagSafe with the Apple 20watt charger? And is the phone being charged with a case, or no case?

That's obviously going to be the case.

Magsafe/wireless charging is a much less efficient way to charge a battery compared to using the cable.

Yeah we know that.

If you plan on charging it with a Magsafe I would suggest to leave the phone facing down while charging.

Thank you. Yes that should dissipate the heat faster.

my pro max generally got a little hot when it was first connected but it soon cools down but yes it can get hot but alot of the terms it can with wireless charging.
