Hello,

I bought an iPhone 11 a couple of days ago that came with a USB-c cable but no adaptor. I’ve been using a USB-a cable with a generic 5 watt adaptor. Tonight I noticed the phone getting pretty warm while charging. Not hot but considerably warm. Is this normal? I have another iPhone 11 that doesn’t get this warm at all. I plan on buying an Apple USB-c adaptor tomorrow.

Also, the phone case I’m using is a wallet case with the inside case held in place by a magnet, which you can take out of the wallet. Is this safe?

Normal.

There are sensors inside to prevent excessive temperature whilst charging.

If it's warm indoors then I tend to take my iphone out of its case to let it charge, for optimal battery life - but it's not a safety issue.

Not to worry. The phone will get noticeably warm while charging. This is the way.

All phones will get warmer when charging if left in their case. Warm is fine. Hot is not

Totally normal, mine gets warm if the screen is on too long or I'm on a long phone call. Batteries get warm when charging (in fact some tool battery manufacturers have fans in the charger to cool them off so they can charge them even faster)

All my iPhones got warm while charging. I’d think this is normal for now.

If it gets warm, unplugged and waits for few minutes before plug it back. The second charge won’t be warm.

My iPhone gets warm while charging. I like it. Nice and toasty. Great in the winter.

My iPhone and my iPad get warm when charging. I use a 7.5w wireless stand for the phone at home and a 10w iPad charger for the iPad.
