    Actually it can pose quite a big problem. There’s no ventilation on phone anywhere and lithium batteries really don’t like heat, at all. In fact that’s just at the top maximum battery can take, so there’s a big chance of thermal runaway at which point whole thing might combust.

      Lithium batteries aren’t going to thermal runaway at 46ºc.

      Edit: I looked it up. it’s ~66º, so maybe closer for comfort that one would like.

        Yup. Not that far from recorded temps. Combine that with leaving phone in car or in direct sunlight and you enter dangerous zone.
