iPhone 12 pro not charging with MagSafe charger

Same with the Apple MagSafe not working on new iPhone 12 Pro and also AirPods Pro. Bought a cheap Amazon one and worked perfectly !!!

Thanks for replying to this topic. I am having the same issue. When I plug the MagSafe connector into the 20W Apple charger, it does not charge the phone - the charge icon appears, but is not accompanied by the circle “connected” graphic. The charge icon disappears after about 5 or 10 seconds and the phone does not charge.

the phone charges as expected when plugging the USB-C to Lightning connector that came with the phone.

Not charging. Restarting again.

Same issue here, kind of. My iPhone 12 recognizes the MagSafe charger is attached and does everything to make you think it is charging. However, it is not charging, in fact my battery shows to be depleting about 2% every 5 minutes.

Found this on Apple’s MacSafe instructions

• As with other wireless chargers, your iPhone or MagSafe Charger might get slightly warmer while your iPhone charges. To extend the lifespan of your battery, if the battery gets too warm, software might limit charging above 80 per cent.

I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max 128GB AT&T, all of a sudden today (with iOS 14.2.1) MagSafe does not work, with the genuine Apple Clear MagSafe Case and Apple genuine MagSafe charger. I did the reset twice that you guys mentioned, did not work when connected to my brand new MacBook Pro 15" with latest software installed. I reboot it again and plugged it into the 20W adaptor (also used to charge MacBook) and it did not work. I think I am just going to return the entire phone, MagSafe Charger, and the compatible case. One issue into spending $1,200.00+ is not worth having to play button games to just get a charger to work. Anyone else still having this issue?

So here's my update since I got this thing four days ago. I clearly can't use it with my hard drive charger, one down. I cant charge it with any adapter, two down. I can't charge it to my 2018 Macbook Air because it's not USB-C, three down. It does charge on my GFs 2020 Macbook Air (which does have USB-C ports), but it's not accessible at all times, four down. My VW recognizes it as a MagSafe Charger with the use of an adapter but it doesn't charge, five down.

This is like when the knockoff chargers we bought at the gas station, market, Ross, Marshalls, TJMaxxx, and the phone said it didn't recognize it as an accessory. Apple is gonna have to put out another update to fix this.

Oh and you know what's so funny about all this? The knockoff adapters I'm using, actually work with the **** cord that came with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. SMH

The same issue with IPhone Pro 12 Max, just bought 2 days ago. It helped me, this button game. However we’ll see how long it will be work. Anyhow I’m agree with people, who mentioned, that we payed Hugh price for playing button games and be in stress that out cellphone doesn’t work of any reason.

Griff1026,

I had the same issue and your suggested procedure worked perfectly. But, what causes this problem and what is your procedure doing to fix it?

Thank you very much the help you’ve already provided!

This solution , or just a simple restart worked the first few times it started happening. Now have 14.3 OS. Magsafe hasn’t worked for weeks. lightening still does, however. I am disappointed. Been trolling forums and still no real answers or apologies for this defect.

My Iphone 12 PRO MAX charged using safe mag until yesterday. I'm now only able to charge using the lightening port. I'm currently installing IOS 14.3, hopefully that will fix the problem... I will post results

This worked for me too. It was weird, my phone said it had less than 50% battery life, but when I followed the steps you provided and it booted back up, I had 91% and was able to charge it again. Thank you!

Magsafe charger does not work with Magsafe charger. I have tried all of the instructions on the forum. Hit or miss. The instructions do not lead to a consistent solution. Please update either the software or the instructions to fix the gap.

Magsafe Charger does not work with iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro Plus. Forum Help is inconsistent. Please fix this problem. Most of the posts only work once. Please fix the problem. I ought to be able to charge my iPhone 12 Plus Pro with a Magsafe—NO BRAINER!!!

Well I’ve had my 12 Pro Max for a week now and bought a MagSafe puck today and it won’t charge the phone. Did the volume button reset 5 times and nothing. Tried my wife’s 11 and nothing. Removed the clear MagSafe case and tried that way and nothing. I can only charge by lighting or my Belkin wireless charging pads in the house. What is going on Apple????? I’m running the latest and greatest software, clear MagSafe case, and 20w charging brick OEM, and and I can’t even charge the phone with your accessories YOU ADVERTISE AS COMPATIBLE!!! When is a fix coming? Maybe you should pay your engineers more to and stop worrying about being WOKE! Do what you supposedly do best, make a product that works as advertised and fix this ASAP! This phone costs too much to have to play button hopscotch to get a feature to work. I should have kept my 10s Max.
