This has bad idea written all over it.

If you need charge fast, use wired fast charging and leave it off the wireless charger.

I see that users here only look at the title and don't bother reading the body of the post. OP just had it on the charging pad for 10 seconds before taking it off, yet everyone is flipping out like OP was using both to charge for hours.

No, we’re incredulous that he thought experimenting like that with no forethought was a perfectly reasonable thing to do. The length of time doesn’t matter, it’s the intent to begin with.

If he had a momentary brain fart and did it, that’d be one thing, but he did it on purpose, despite the fact that he could have looked it up to determine its safety first.

My iPhone X overheats when I use carplay in my car. My car has a built in wireless charging mat and when I plug the iphone into the cars carplay port which also charges the phone and then lay it on the mat which is the convenient location to place the phone it overheats.

Why would you attempt to charge the phone in two ways simultaneously? Would you plug your tv in twice?Regardless of any safeguards supposedly designed in, no matter if one method is supposed to take priority over the other, it’s just irresponsible to attempt such a thing.

Well it's not just the combination of both wired and wireless charging but adding in the fact you were using a secondary lightning cable (at least based on the photos shown in this thread). Is it MFI certified by Apple standards? If not then this could be your issue. It is possible while the device (iphone) has coding built into the hardware to combat voltage changes between wired and wireless, adding in a 3rd party cable (not certified) can cause additional voltage irregularities to occur. Now not all 3rd party cables have issues.. but to each is own when using them.
