iPhone 12 mini Wireless Charging in the truck

[gbf]

I have a 2019 Chevy Colorado and I took a road trip today with my mom.

I left the iPhone 12 Pro plugged in to the usb for apple play and put my mini on the wireless charging pad built into the truck.

I took the mini off the charging pad and it was hot!

I got this message as well.

why? Aren’t these things supposed to stop charging at 100 percent.

I took the mini off the charging pad and it was hot!

The temperature warning could be due to the phone being wireless charged in a hot car.

Keeping iPhone, iPad and iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures​

Here are some of the higher ambient-temperature conditions and activities that might cause the device to change performance and behavior:

• Leaving the device in a car on a hot day.
• Leaving the device in direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
• Using certain features in hot conditions or direct sunlight for an extended period of time, such as GPS tracking or navigation in a car, playing a graphics-intensive game, or using augmented-reality apps.

The car was as cool as could be.

Probably bad alignment with the pad, resulting in an inefficient (and hot) charge.

Not all wireless charging pads are well designed.

Thank you! Makes sense
