Picked up new phone. It will not charge on my Qi wireless charger. My family members’ iPhone X and 11 charge fine. Mine initially shows the green battery, then it disconnects from charging and the charger flashes a blue LED, signifying it is no longer connected. This despite using different charger blocks.
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
Sorry, but your assertion it's not the charger because it works with previous phones is the wrong analogy for iPhone 12. The charging coil in iPhone 12 is not in the same spot as it was in previous phones to accommodate MagSafe. That doesn't mean iPhone 12 isn't compatible with Qi chargers. It actually is. But it likely means your current chargers may not position the charging coils properly with the relocated spot on iPhone 12.
We had charging issues when we first got iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Max. After much research, I came to the conclusion my older chargers weren't going to work with iPhone 12. So I bought new chargers and haven't had any issues since. Our new chargers are dual coil and were repositioned to better align with iPhone 12. And this is important, many older chargers don't have higher watt QC 3.0 charging bricks. So my new chargers have 18W QC3.0 bricks. Bam, no issues charging wireless since and it's been over 2 months now.
iPhone charges on my wife’s circular Belkin charger but not on my stand charger from Anker. And Anker offered me a 15% discount but they don’t make anything that fits my need yet. I’d like to get a charger like the Belkin 3 in 1 which uses MagSafe but I don’t want the AirPod and watch chargers with it nor the $130 price tag!
Not sure it's Apple's fault. They are not responsible for ensuring iPhone works with every Qi charger on the market. It is every Qi charger manufacturers responsibility to ensure their device works with iPhone.
It's a well known brand I've used for years with my Apple products. My other iPhone 11 works well with wireless charging and there is no issue there. Just wanted to share my opinion I'm good with cable charhing. Let's see what happens.
I only use 3.0 chargers and still face the same issue as everyone else in this thread.
it the iPhone. Not the charger.
I am hoping it software side which can be easily upgraded
Currently at 14.2. Still have issue
It unfortunately didn't work here. Tried with the case, without the case, is connects to the charger, says it's charging, but in the morning still with the same battery percentage from the night before, some times with 2 to 3% of increasing. I have to believe the magnets from magsafe is interfering. The same is happening in the car. Just to bad for an overpriced product that doesn't even comes with its own charger.
still having issues-
now having to reset phone to charge by cable occasionally
something is not correct with the charging process of the phone if a reset is required occasionally to allow charging either from wireless or cable
I understand that, but this thread IS about iPhone 12. Not wireless charging in general. iPhone 12 has a different charging system than iPhone 11. The charging plate in iPhone 12 has been moved to accommodate MagSafe. iPhone 11 is different in this regard.
You should start your own thread about the issue you're having with iPhone 11 as opposed to diluting a thread which is specific to a different model phone than you own.
That is a very strange occurrence. I've not even taken the charging cable for my iPhone 12 Pro out of the box. I've been using my Belkin the entire time, and have Optimized Battery Charging on and functioning since I purchased it.

I dont want to start a discussion on the iPhone 11 Pro. It was just a short information. I hope it might help someone to fix this problem as soon as possible.
As long as you understand any solutions for iPhone 12 won't necessarily apply to iPhone 11 at all.
MagSafe charger not working either.
have 2 different Qi chargers and they work fine on wife’s 11
nut not on 12 pro. So invested in MagSafe and lo and behold it won’t charge 12 but will charge 11. Apple said their engineers are working on it. Asked me if I would mind if they used me as part of the fix
whatever that means.
Word for word that’s the same procedure I just been through. Senior this and senior that. However they said engineers are aware and are frantically trying to fix.
we shall see. Personally I’m not faffing around rebooting each time I need a charge. Seems some work and some don’t.
poor for a £1200 phone. Very poor.
I'm not saying you should. I'm saying I did and I have no more issues with wireless charging. It's up to you what you do.
Telling me or anyone else on this forum what you think Apple should do is pointless here. This is a user to user only forum. Apple isn't here.
If you're not happy about this use the Contact Support button at the top of this page and discuss your issues with Apple directly.
Same here. It did at first, but only for a few minutes. Then it just stopped working all together. I was getting ready to return my Mophie then remembered I had purchased a MagSafe with my phone. I tried charging on the MagSafe...same thing. Won't charge at all. My iPhone 12 will charge on the MagSafe but not the Mophie. But my 12Pro won't charge on either.
Hello All,
Updated to IOS 14.3 still have issues with both iPhone 12 pros not wirelessly charging. Over 2 grand for 2 phones and wirelessly doesn't work. OMG.. Steve Jobs is turning in his grave with all this crap. Sad!
Just got a new iPhone 12 Pro Max. I had a XS Max that worked perfectly fine until this model came out. Typical Apple. Really frustrating considering I paid $1,500.00 for the XS Max and after trading in that phone (less than 2 years later) I still paid around $1,000.00. Wireless charging was working fine when I first got my iPhone 12, but now it’s not working. I tried force restarting my phone numerous times and that did not work. Extremely frustrating considering how much money was spent. I love Apple products, but for how expensive their products are, their reliability has declined a lot. Hopefully they will fix this bug.
iPhone 12 pro won’t wirelessly charge
