iPhone 12 Pro Wireless Charging Issues

Same problem here, brand new 12PRO simply doesnt charge on both mophie mat charger. As suggested rebooting helps just for a little while then it goes on and off. An italian site address this matter to the new release of IOs but also to some hardware component. It is also true Apple officially said mag safe charge are optimized to better charge your phone ....

Anyhow the solution that get the phone charging process lasting longer is to place the phone on tha mat when the display is on.

If paused or on block mode it will simply not charge at all.

let's hope in patch that will fix the issue at the soonest.

I'm having the same problem with my iPhone 12 Pro Max that I picked up on Friday. There was an update to IOS 14.2 that was supposed to fix this problem but it still exist. If I reboot and take my phone out of the case it will start charging then stop after 15-20 minutes.

I'm seeing precisely the same issue with my Pro Max that I received yesterday. I have a Belkin charger that works for my older phones and my iPad, but it does nto work for this iPhone 12 Pro Max. A little annoyed, but I can live with the cable until we get a new update from Apple. It's clearly a software issue.

Knock on wood, but ever since I did the volume up, down, then power off- it seems to work with my wireless charger. I keep wondering if the new 12’s need a 15watt charger??? Some of these older wireless chargers are only 10 at the most. The charger I have is a 10watt, and it takes all night to charge it, but it does get the job done. And I do have a thicker Otter box case.

It's super sad that Apple is now more hype than quality. I have had the displeasure to deal with their 'support' today. Complete waste of time, lots of words put together meaning nothing, total lack of integrity. You could say that not having to deal with them would be 'amaaziiing' - add Tim Cooke accent for effect.

I’m having the same problem with my new 12 pro. I’ve not yet got the new MagSafe charger. But I own several Qi chargers around the house. & none of them work with the new phone. But still work with my old iPhones.

I’m having the same problems, I have charging pads that worked great with my 11Pro Max, that now work sporadically with my new 12 Pro Max. I woke up this morning to a half charged phone this morning. I now will plug the cord in every night until this is resolved. I need my phone fully charged in the morning for work. Thank goodness I had a battery charger with me today.

After spending quite a while with Apple support not being able to fix my iPhone 12 Pro Max which stopped wirelessly charging I fixed it. Once I turned off battery optimization my iPhone 12 pro max now charges wirelessly.

I have a Mophie pad and it charges then stops. Sometimes right away, other times it will charge for awhile then stop. Battery power doesn’t seem to have an effect. I think this i12 pro has only fully charged once via wireless. It’s not the pads per se, but the interface from pad to phone. It’s an Apple problem, hopefully one they get ironed out real fast

Don’t do the power on, power off restart. That didn’t work for me either. This is called a forced reset, you will lose some cookie/login data but it fixed the problem permanently for me (few days running now). Follow the directions exactly and hopefully it will work for you too.

Same problem here with my iPhone mini. Nothing works to get it to charge wirelessly. Let me tell you, the battery on this device is pathetic at best. Will be replacing the phone with regular iPhone 12. Apple has made some major errors with the latest release! New squared edge Phone feels too thick toocompared to my old XR

That's not going to happen. There are simply too many variables with too many wireless chargers on the market. Some are being used with QC3.0 bricks, many are not and they should be QC3.0. Some chargers are single charging plate, while others are dual charging plates. Too many variables. The phones work with Qi chargers as long as the Qi chargers is outputting enough power to work on iPhone 12 and the charging plate corresponds to the location on the iPhone 12 to transfer power. Some people haven't update to 14.2 either, which they need to do because the update did address this issue as best it can given not all chargers are the same.

It likely means the charger itself isn't suitable for the task. I had one at home with a 3.0 brick, which simply wouldn't charge either our iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro Max. But I have other chargers, which do just fine. Didn't mean the phone was at fault. It meant the charger was.

Same.

But mine charged wirelessly just fine when I first brought the iPhone 12 Mini home.

Worked fine on 2 different brands of wireless charger for the 2 first days.

Then over night, it stopped working on both.

Maybe an update that happened overnight??

I had this problem with one of the chargers we had, so I bought new chargers and it was the charger, not the phone. Now with these new chargers (really cool, BTW., as they charge our phone, Apple Watch and another plate for 5W earbud cases), the phones charge immediately and continue charging all night long.

You likely need to get a better charger.

In case you're interested, this is what I bought two of (we have iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Max and two Apple Watches) --> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083S8418Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
