I just got this wire, and it works great, but my iPhone 5s now heats up when it charges. Anybody else have this issue?

I never had that problem, but I have the 4s, does your cord and box get hot to?

I'm not very technical but I have not had that problem -- either in the car or on the computer.

I used this cable to charge my iPhone 6 and my phone overheated (I got the temperature warning). I've never had any of my phones ever get so hot! It wasn't just warm to the touch, it was HOT!When I plug it into my MacBook Pro, I also get this message, "USB Devices Disabled. Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices." An iPhone should not get this message as it doesn't draw that much power.

I didn't notice this issue yet so far. My iPhone 5s heats up a little bit sometimes even when I use the original charger wire which comes with the iPhone purchase. You may want to test with the original wire as well to see it that happens again.

I have a 5s too but did not have any heating issues on the phone. No problems with the 5, iPad mini, or iPad gen2 either

Yes on occasion. I make sure I'm right there and don't have it on anything flammable. Also, I find it doesn't do it if I charge it via my computer, though that takes longer. This cord has lasted longer than any other 'non apple' cord I've used and that's many.

Either both or separate it doesn't do the trick, if together what happens is both the iPhone and the Power Bank gets awful hot witch I think could damage the iPhone, after I recieve the first one I complain about and what I was told that I was the first person to complain and that they had sold many of the power banks and no one had complain about it, in turn I recieve another one and nothing has change the power bank seems to suffer from over heating I wrote to them about it and haven't recieve an answer, maybe because I told them I was going to keep it to use it as my iPhone protector.

Never had that problem with mine. Maybe you got the one for the iPhone 5? I would exchange it for a new one.

Charges my iPhone 5S with no problem. Probably your cable is broken. It won't charge iPad due to low Amperage. It is even low to charge iPhone normally.Update: I read your reply, I wanted to say it can still be a cord, even if it charges fine from computer USB.

I ordered this for my iPhone 5s and it doesn't work with either the lightning cord that came with my phone or with extra "lightning to USB" cables that I bought from Amazon. I understand that the cord that came with it is for charging and recharging it, but once it's charged, there is no way to plug in my iPhone. The "input" opening is the wrong size. I don't know what kind of cable it is supposed to take. I am returning it. starquilt43

No, this is not normal. This model of charger is poorly designed and is overheating and melting its own case. It's a fire hazard and you should stop using it.

I never got hot with mine, unless it was (like Matthew said) heating the battery up for other reasons. Sitting near a window, heat duct, etc while charging. Otherwise i never got hot using the Nokia Qi puck.

I had the same result. Very annoying. If you already have the older cable you just need to buy the adapter from Apple. Wish I knew that before I ordered this.

I sent mine back. It didn't charge my iPhone in a reasonable time. Couldn't see keeping it. Sorry.

I had the same experience - bought the amazon certified cable, clipped off the old and have been happily charging. It's an Apple thing that change with an iOS update.

I bought it for my 2003 Victory to charge my iPhone 5. It worked for about a month, but now I get the "charging is not supported with this accessory" message. I do not get that message using the same charging cable in my car or in my home, so it has to be this outlet. Perhaps because there is no voltage regulator? I don't know what the solution is, but my phone clearly doesn't like it. Any other iPhone 5 users having trouble with this outlet?

I have try both together yet both the reacharcheable power bank and the phone gets real hot, and let me add my brother in law also has the same problem with a different brand of iPhone that's how I got to know about the power bank I haven't ask for my money back garantee, cause I've been using it as case protector for the iPhone wich I think is what is good for. At the begging I used to keep the power bank charging all night and the charge didn't last so what I did I stop using it as rechargeable power for my IPhone.

yeah, I thought that too. But it charges perfectly when it flashes, think its normalremember the speed of charging is not the same as with cables

I have not experienced that problem and have been using the product for about 3 months. I would contact the seller and/or the maker and explain the problem to them. Could be internal loose wire which can create problems if you continue to try and charge batteries.

I did the same thing and my problem was the red & black wires were backwards and switched off the charger. Any chance the white & black wires are reversed in your home wiring?

I've had no problems with mine whatsoever. I've owned this for nearly a year. I charge my iPhone 5S at least 4 times a week from a 10% charge. The charger still has more than 1/3 charge left at the end of the week when I recharge the charger. I love this thing so much I bought one for each of my sons (2) and recommend it to my friends at work.

Not sure why. I get the same message from time to time but it doesn't stop my iphone from charging. Ignore it.
