I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max with the stock apple leather case on it. My phone got toasty on a road trip (12 hours driving) but not to the point of overheating, however it was not something I wanted to hold barehanded for any length of time. I've found this to be true in my Polestar 2, the Defender 110, and a chevy bolt I used to have. It's a 'neat' idea but in practice my experience has been it makes the phones hot.

I don’t do wireless charging either because of this and also because it’s so slow to charge. The good thing is that the defender has enough usb outlets to charge everything we carry so wired works for us.

As a side note, for iPhones I would also check to make sure that “Clean Energy Charging” is turned off as it slows down regular charging. This setting won’t allow your iPhone to charge normally if there is high electricity usage in your area.

As a followup to the Apple Car Play and charging issues or it losing the connection...

So it turns out that there are some settings that you a find on the web that are unique to the Car play setup. After making some adjustments as mentioned it seems to have worked a little better. More importantly, I replaced the USB-C to iPhone connector cable to a heavier duty version made by Belkin, and now I only may have to flip the connector around on occasion, but it always works! For those previously mentioned issues in the mountains after crossing from NJ into NY state, I switched the phone connection to never use the WiFi of the vehicle. Apparently, the cell signal from your phone is more reliable than the one that is connected to the vehicle currently since it searches and changes the provider frequently in addition to simply changing the cell tower it is transmitting to, I've been told by LR North America. Perhaps that can change once the T-Mobile connection that comes with the vehicle expires in a year I also was rumored to hear...thus, one could sign on to their regular cell phone provider to include the vehicle and so that WiFi may become more reliable.

True. Just use a normal recharging cord instead.
