Finally paid attention to something this morning . . .
Every day when I have picked up my phone after driving to work, I have noticed the phone is very hot to the touch. I haven't paid attention to the battery percentage, but now I think I will. This is using wireless Apple CarPlay, Waze, and listening to a podcast.
This morning, for whatever reason, wireless CarPlay would not connect and not work. I keep a USB connector in the center storage for passengers, so I pulled it out, and CarPlay connected right away.
I noticed when I got to work - no warm phone.
My thought is that Wireless CarPlay is really using the radios in the phone to an extreme to connect and maintain that connection, really making the phone warm. Nothing seems to make a phone warmer than spinning up and heavily using those radios. Hopefully it connects not he way home and I can see if the wireless charging is keep up with that radio use - I haven't paid attention until this struck me.
