iPhone 12 pro won’t wirelessly charge

the 36W doesn't explain why my iphone 12 mini doesn't charge on my current charger and my other half's iphone 12 does. So excuse me if I smell BS. My iphone x charges fine too, and also some people manage to get theirs to charge if the force re-boot it. The freeking lights will be dimming before long.

You are missing the point. I have 2 wireless chargers. Both charge my iPhone X and my other half’s iPhone 12 but neither charge my iPhone 12 mini. If they charge one iPhone 12 then it should work for all. I’m not the only one here having charge if issues. Extortion Apple

Same only week old 12 pro max all my chargers claim to be compatible with my new phone and none of my wireless chargers will work. Very disappointed considering the money spent and I also paid extra for the upgraded gig version so I spent a pretty penny as you all know apple is more than smart enough to resolve this issue or pay for my phone I’ll take either.

Same here with 12 MAX PRO, won’t charge on Any wireless charger, whether magsafe or not.

It is unacceptable for such an expensive device.

That it happens, it’s fine, that you don’t apologize and fix urgently is not fine.

This doesn’t fix the issue that Apple says that the iPhone 12 is backwards compatible with all Qi chargers.

Why does mine work 1 night and completely charge the phone to 100% and the next afternoon/night it doesn’t work at all. Power cycling and it works again for 1 full charge. Rinse and repeat.

If that we’re the case, and the coils did not align, then it will never charge, not sometimes do. It always falls in the same spot, always, sometimes when you connect and disconnect the charger it works, without realigning it.

This is the case of my home and office charger

“Dual coil. Stand. Plate, etc. Some don't have QC3.0 brick”

and single

coil fast charge in my car, nos sure if that one is.

But then the IPhone is not Qi standard.

so of you got a better solution, than buying a msg safe charger to be able to use it, I will like to hear it.

Following. My iPhone 12, just switched from life time of Android. Very frustrated that it won’t charge on the wireless charges that I have because of this problem. And on top of that it doesn’t come with a full charger. So I have to go buy a couple chargers, I can’t keep using my friends chargers forever.

I’ve lodged multiple tickets for this issue and Apple want me to backup and factory reset the iPhone and restore! Tried and same issue.... for a premium phone and price it’s poor service. It’s clear it’s a phone FW issue... Apple, wake up! And sort it!!!!

This week my phone worked flawless, with the same three Qi chargers, even when not aligned. Not like the first months. then it stoped working again.

For me apple just doesn’t cut it anymore. Instead of making my life easier and simple it complicated things. Back to wired charging a GREAT STEP BACK!

My iPhone 12 Pro had been in the habit of occasionally failing to accept a Qi charge, from various pads and stands scattered around the house, but now has gone completely on strike. My go-to corrective measure, closing out all apps and power-cycling, no longer has any effect.

This is pretty appalling performance on the part of Apple. While not exactly a drop-dead issue from this user's point of view, the fact that this device has been offered to the public for nigh-on four months, now, and sold by the millions all over the world, yet can't reliably deploy one of its more fundamental functional attributes, is really not acceptable.

Thanks for the quick reply! It’s definitely frustrating. I bought an alarm clock with a charging pad and it wouldn’t work. I thought the issue was with the clock. It never occurred to me it’s a problem with the phone. I figured, it’s a brand new Apple device; how could it not function in this most basic way?? I wonder if that other user got an older generation iPhone, which would be a bummer. But you’re right, if they produced a new iPhone 12 that does work, why would they not recall ours or offer replacements? (I mean, I know why: $$$)

No. "Funny" story though, I've actually been able to wireless charge again the last 2-3 months, and whenever it started acting up, I did the hard rest thing. HOWEVER since last week it wont charge on any of my wireless pads and AT ALL this time! Can't reset, shut down, or simply reposition the phone as I have been doing the last couple of months. Now it's no wireless charging at all... (and the pads from NATIVE UNION charge my Airpods Pro and friends Samsung phones just fine).

I have a one year warranty in Denmark, but no actual store to go to, so that means sending the **** phone via mail and having to wait for the thing to come back, reset and most likely to end up with the same problem. Unless Apple officially acknowledges the issue and makes at fix or at the least some statement like "Some phones are affected, we are looking into it". Im a "apple-guy", but honestly not sure for how long because of this. Apple needs to step up the game.

And to your point, I’m not sure I’d trust a replacement phone, anyway, come to think of it—not after reading some people’s stories about getting their phones to finally work for awhile before they stopped. I could get a new phone and have it work perfectly, then a month later, same issue.

It falls into the moderately annoying category, of defects. I've always been overly obsessed with keeping my devices charged, so the Qi has been great, not so much fumbling for cables. However, I have to be mindful, and make sure that the charging indicator is on, now, at bedtime, or when settling in for a Teams or Zoom call. Love the device, otherwise; certainly, this issue isn't going to drive me into the Android world.
