iPhone iOS16.6 + Otter Box + Maverick Wireless Charge = Phone Overheating

[flashfearless]

So, I used to be a software developer, full disclosure the last time I developed an app for iOS was iOS 6, but I've developed for many platforms before that and after that.

I bring that up because I pay attention to conditions for reproduction via testing.

I've reached the conclusion that iOS 16.6 (at least for my iPhone 12 Pro Max) introduced more heat during charging. The phone is running hotter than prior to iOS 16.6.

Specifically, where this has caused me a problem is having the iPhone in my Otter Box case and on the Maverick wireless charging pad.

After a while, the iPhone shows an error which says that the charging has been suspended until the phone cools down.

I never had this problem prior to iOS 16.6. I can get around it by charging via cable and away from the wireless pad, or taking the phone out of the Otter Box.

Anyone else noting anything similar?

My wife’s phone has this problem, except it’s even with the charging cable.

iPhone 14,IOS 16.6

it happens when she uses wired apple carplay with her case on and phone out of the sun. It’s normal operation to some extent, but it has been worse with 16.6.
Phone has been factory reset… ran for a couple days without a restore, same issue. Did a restore from an iCloud back and still same issue. I had apple run diagnostics on the phone and no trouble found.
Waiting for IOS 17 to see what happens (more bugs of course but)

your not alone though

Yeah, mine has only happened with wired apple carplay on the wireless charging pad. If I say move the phone to passenger seat, no issue.

i have an iphone x and it is constantly overheating even with the cable attached. I found a clever way of using the vent clip so my iphone could stay cooled while being charged.
