In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the issue of iPhone overheating while charging. He explains that it is normal for both chargers and iPhones to get warm or hot during the process. He distinguishes between different types of chargers: the older 5-watt slow charger, the 20-watt fast charger, and the MagSafe wireless charger. The older slow charger typically remains cool, while the fast and wireless chargers can become quite hot due to the higher energy being transferred. He emphasizes that this is expected and safe when using authentic, original Apple chargers. Additionally, it is normal for the iPhone to get warm during charging, especially with faster charging methods, but it should not become excessively hot.

The speaker identifies two primary reasons for iPhones overheating while charging: using the iPhone during charging and charging in hot environments or direct sunlight. To avoid overheating, users should either stop using the phone during charging or avoid charging in hot conditions. If an iPhone still overheats in a cool environment while not being used, it is advised to contact Apple for a battery check.
