I am finding my iPhone 12 on iOS 14.6 gets hot even when not charging. It didn’t do this before the update to 14.6.+1 for the information. Good idea, I never thought of using the rear ports. It would help with charging / heat / etc., I will give it a try today.
I should have noted that in my IR thermometer post above that it's Summer here in Canada and we're getting low +30 C degrees every day, which is normal, but then the phone is already at an ambient temp above +22 C, so the phone is already warm.
Still, I charged my iPhone 12 many times in my old 2016 MB suv, and never had heat like this with the Porsche.
I am totally not qualified to comment on this, but I have a suspicion the Porsche Connect App, along with all the wireless communication + processing drain on the phone are combining to cause this heat issue. It seems like the processor in my iPhone 12 is working extra hard for some reason. Shutting down all unnecessary apps seems to help a small amount.
I have also plugged in my phone to the ports in the console and it didn’t interrupt Apple CarPlay. Seamless transition to wired.
