iPhone Air My air overheated!

[jbachandouris]

Pro Max. Wired charging. Out of direct sunlight. Not in the South. AC on. Got the charging paused due to heat. Only thing running was Apple Maps. Apple official clear case.

It's only happened once and since it's now fall in Upstate NY, I doubt I'll see the warning again.

I would presume that car chargers are stupid chargers in they cannot sense heat or over-charge.

The denial in the comments is fascinating

Delete.

edit: I apologize for the poor taste of post. Was not my original intent.

I've had this message from almost every iPhone I've owned at some point. Usually when in the car, the sun sometimes shines right on it when you have it in a mount on the dash. My current MagSafe mount/charger is on an A/C vent, so the phone is getting plenty of cold air while on the mount and that prevents it from overheating.

Literally every iPhone I've ever had has overheated while charging in the car.

My diesel tahoe has a super cooled wireless charging pad so even on extremely long drives in the texas summer my phone is ice cold.

As someone who drives with Waze a lot in a very hot setting, every iPhone I have had has given me that message.

did you try the 17 pro yet ?

I don't use my wireless car charger cause it overheats my iPhones, always has. It also charges extremely slow.

Fascinating to hear stories of people from hotter regions who routinely experience temperature notifications with iPhone. I was genuinely surprised the first time I tried charging my iPhone 14 Pro Max in my conventional oven.

 

[Jackbequickly]

I have never seen this message. Even when I use my device in the sun.

Maybe Apple will make a MagSafe cooling fan next year for the Air.

My Chevy Impala has a tiny active cooling vent for the wireless charger linked right to the air conditioning.

It's a strangely specific GM feature that's already been phased out due to cost-cutting, but I'm surprised it didn't take off. Vehicles with it could charge at a rate of 15W. Vehicles without it charge at 5W.

Vehicle manufacturers were actually on to something... Cooling phones that didn't need it a decade ago.

Yeah, better so far, but hasn't been as hot this week temperature wise.

had this happen twice. scared me a lot the first time. still concerning . . .

The irony for me is that this is the fist (and maybe last?) phone i'm not using a case with, so regardless of other factors, this would make it more temp friendly than my 16 PM with the Apple silicon case. Btw, I never got that warning, but I'm not a heavy user.

An aluminum phone would have required a case. Not trying to justify anything, as I didn't care, and this just occurred to me when I read this thread. I'll get a feel for this after several months probably.

I should print that out (change iPhone to my name) and hang it around my neck when I get too hot.
