Is anyone having issues with the iPhone XS Max getting hot?

Yes, using with a silicon back cover the phone is heating up alarmingly. But now after removing the back cover the phone is just as cool as can be! The culprit is therefore the back cover allowing no air cooling!

The back cover must be blocking the cooling fan hidden in the Apple logo on the back. ;)

So far the only time it gets hot is if I use my Qi charger in my car, but if I use the Qi charger (Mophie 5W) at home no issues.

My wifes 6S Plus got really hot the other day for no reason.

Haven’t noticed my Max getting hot at all but I have the Apple Leather case on it which is decent insulator.
