Why does my smartphone heat up more in the wireless charging tray of my MINI than with a charging cable?

If your smartphone supports inductive charging, it will be automatically charged in the wireless charging tray of your MINI. Inside the wireless charging tray is an electric coil through which alternating current flows. This creates a magnetic field. There is a coil even in your smartphone. If this is in the range of the magnetic field, current also flows through it. The coil in your smartphone can heat up a lot. For optimum charging, your smartphone should be positioned centrally in the storage tray with the screen facing up.
