Many users have previously discovered that wireless charging in BMW models can easily cause damage to the iPhone 15 NFC chip, white apples, and overheating, making the Apple Pay function unusable. According to reports from foreign media and netizens, this situation is not unique to the iPhone 15 series. , even old iPhones and Android phones will encounter overheating problems when using wireless charging from BMW and other cars. Many people suspect that the car manufacturer did not consider heat dissipation issues when designing the wireless charging version.
Netizens reported that car wireless charging caused iPhone to overheat
At present, most cars or electric vehicles have wireless charging designs near the central control of the car. If used while navigating and using wireless charging at the same time, it is easy to cause the phone to overheat. This problem will occur in BMW, Ford, Tesla and other models. Among them, BMW has the most users reacting excessively.
Many BMW users reported on the Internet that after using their iPhone as a digital key, turning on Apple CarPlay and navigation in the car, and charging their phones wirelessly in a BMW, the phone would become extremely hot, and even cause the iPhone to overheat and become unusable. There is a situation where the battery loses power instead of charging.
Even foreign Tesla owners have discovered that the old iPhone 12 Pro Max phone will overheat when placed on the Tesla car wireless charging version. In fact, “Mr. Crazy” did find that Tesla wireless charging, even if it is not charging while navigating, will still cause the iPhone body to be very hot. Even the iPhone 14 Pro Max has to be turned upside down to reach the Tesla Qi charging coil, which replaces the phone. Wireless charging.
Of course, these problems also appear on the Ford wireless charging version. If the phone is left for too long, it will cause overheating charging warnings to be repeatedly received.
More PPT netizenSharing: I originally thought that the wireless charging version in the car would be convenient for charging, but because the charging speed is too slow, it can also easily cause the phone to overheat. In the end, I chose to use wired charging. If there are super crappy car accessories to vote for, he will definitely choose wireless. Charging pad.
When a mobile phone is being used for wireless charging, it is normal to notice a warm feeling on the back, and it will not be hot to the touch. If it feels very hot when held in the hand, it means there is a problem. Currently, both iPhone and Android mobile phones use lithium batteries. As long as the temperature is too high, the battery life will be affected and the health of the battery will decrease faster.
Reasons why wireless charging in cars causes iPhone to overheat
There is no heat dissipation mechanism designed for wireless charging
It is understood that the overheating problem caused by wireless charging of iPhone or Android is mainly because the car manufacturer does not consider the excessive temperature in the car when designing the wireless charging position or the simultaneous use of wireless charging function in the navigation, which can easily cause the car wireless charging to overheat.
For example, Chevolet in the United States has considered the heat dissipation problem of the wireless charging version of the car in a few years and developed an air-conditioning system “Active Phone Cooling System” for mobile phones. It can add a dedicated air-conditioning system design to the wireless charging area under the hollow platform. This way, the phone can avoid overheating while charging wirelessly.
On the contrary, the current MagSafe magnetic car charger is unlikely to encounter overheating of this type of mobile phone. Most of them are clamped in front of the air-conditioning vent to avoid overheating during the wireless charging process of the mobile phone.

Wireless charging coil is misaligned
A research team from the University of Warwick in the UK found that due to the different sizes and Qi wireless charging positions of different brands of mobile phones, it is easy to place the mobile phone on the charging plate. The Qi wireless charging coils of the mobile phone and the charging version are not aligned, which can easily cause the iPhone to become hot and overheat. , even charging is easy to charge less and less, unlike wireless charging with properly aligned coils, and the average phone temperature will not exceed 27 degrees Celsius.
In fact, this also reflects that the car wireless charging disk currently designed by some car manufacturers cannot be aligned with the mobile phone coil, causing the mobile phone to easily overheat during wireless charging. Of course, if long-distance navigation is required, it is still recommended to use wired charging to avoid iPhone Overheating causes lag or you see an overheating warning.
