While they may feel warm under certain conditions, like charging, this does not affect the device's lifespan or performance. However, if your devices get too warm, it could cause some issues. Use this guide to help keep your devices at their normal operating temperature.
Please note: Results and symptoms may vary depending on the device and model being used. Some instructions will not apply to certain devices.
