iPhone 12 Pro Wireless Charging Issues

similar issue - the device continues to connect and then disconnect from the charger with device pinging and lighting up which is fun at night. Had swapped chargers and cases and now the phone as well and issue continues - there is a problem with the iPhone 12 pro and its wireless charging

I have iPhone 12 pro and have wireless charges it works on and off and since two days so it completely stop working? My AirPods Pro does charge on same charger but nothing for the phone? This sucks guys apple can’t get simple charging right for amount of menu they charge for the phone

Noting recommended practices and denoting that not everyone has the issue is not “diminishing” others problems.

You have an issue but more data does not diminish your problem, though following conventional post-install procedures may resolve it, at least for some.

Problem went away for two weeks for me, and now it is back. Still have an open Apple support case.

I wonder if I should just ask them to exchange my phone. I think that will be the only way their engineering team recognizes this as a real issue -- if everyone just starts requesting new phones?

I did that already but they didn’t have phones to replace my iPhone 12 Pro with (all stick being reserved for new orders promised to customers who placed initial orders online).

Maybe now a few weeks later they have more stock?

I have seen some people who said they got replacement phones that resolved the issue and others where problem still existed on the replacement too.

Worth a try though. Good luck.

Update,

I purchased this PowerLot https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F9QRBJ4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

from the list https://www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com/products

It is 15W, I used a 27W power adapter and it works well for my iPhone 12 mini. Charged from 78% to 100% in about 15 minutes. The Geekera does not work with the mini. I am hoping to find a pad so I can charge my watch and AirPods together but seem to have solved my issue...at least for now!

I'm seeing a lot of reports of iPhone 12 issues. According to the site iDrop (which seems reputable, but I still have my skepticisms due to the ads they post at the end of every article) Apple supposedly is aware of the issue, is working on it, and will probably be released via a software update. The problems are not with the Qi chargers or charging pads. It's something in the iPhone itself. Hopefully it'll be resolved in an upcoming software update soon. These reported issues are what's causing me to hold off on ordering one. That, and obviously the price of these newest smartphones.

I had no problems until this last week (received on launch day), both 12 pros on 14.2, both quit charging wirelessly on numerous chargers (2 Belkins, 2 Ankers). I rebooted and they started working again.

I have the same problem, the wireless part on my phone is not working. I thought it was my wireless charger becasue is not apple, so I when ahead and purchase the mag safe charger and it doesnt work either, so Im guessing is the phone, not the charger....

Mark me down having the same issue. Just got my iPhone 12 Pro, will not charge through two different cases and is sporadic with the cases off. So my older iPhones supported wireless charging but my newest one does not, nice Apple. Knew I should not have bought a new iPhone in 2020 - LOL.

It is definitely in the Phone's firmware......Can get it back working with a force reset that does not do anything but essentially a cntrl-alt-del on your computer......

From the Home Screen......Up volume button quick......Down volume button quick......Hold the side button until it reboots to the Apple Icon......This basically does a "force reboot and wipe "......So it un-sticks it......

Definitely going to be a fix in the IOS or bios once they figure out what is doing it......

There is a "deeper" reset......This one worked for me......So I did need or want to go farther down the rabbit hole.....

I did the update and still had issues.

I then did a firm reset and haven’t had a gap in charging yet.

It might be fixed on the latest update. I’m on the Beta. Make sure to do a firm reset after any updates.

Your charger is dual charging plate?

Your charger uses a QC3.0 charging brick?

We had wireless charging issues on iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Max. Bought these chargers and have had absolutely NO issues since. Both feature dual plates and higher watt QC3.0

See these two for reference:

Updated to 14.3 and my vertical wireless charging stand still does not work, but both of my horizontal wireless charging stands seem to work more reliably. My Apple clear case is better for charging through the case with the horizontal chargers than my Spigen case, but the Apple clear is way to slippery for my comfort.

I have been able to get my charger working (after I had all of the above issues)

by adding some of the stick-on Rubbery/Foam to the Lip or edge of the charger where the phone sits on.

This raises it about 5mm and seems to engage the charger - so give that a try.

This would seem to indicate a charger coil positioning error !
