Raised lip causes phone to get extremely hot while wirelessly charging
This case has a large raised lip around the camera array. Unfortunately this causes the phone to sit raised off a wireless charging dock instead of sitting flat. That causes the phone to get extremely hot. I’m surprised the phone hasn’t shut down yet due to overheating.
This case might work with the small apple MagSafe charger, but any pad-style wireless charger is going to have this problem.
Without the case on I can align my phone so the camera array sits over the edge of the pad and the phone can lay flush. The iPhone 13 pro only gets slightly warm in this configuration.
This problem is mostly apple’s fault for making the 13 Pro camera array so large and not moving down the wireless charging magnets. Every case with a large lip around the camera is likely to have a similar problem. Nevertheless, this case is useless to me as I have a couple hundred dollars of wireless charging pads and two vehicles it won’t work with, without getting hotter than I am comfortable with.
Otherwise it’s a nice case. Remove the lip around the camera and I’d buy it again.
