iPhone 12 pro won’t wirelessly charge

Then you should definitely have it examined.

I very rarely charge my phone any other way.

Joe,

may I ask you if you ever got your issue sorted? I seem to just be stone walled and patronised with no valuable help.

This might not be a software issue. You'd be better off opening a support ticket with Apple to at least have it officially documented. I did with Apple and they told me to exchange it. I am exchanging mine for a new one that should be here on Wednesday. I wanted to make sure that I could exchange it during the official exchange period. Otherwise it would be treated as a repair down the road and you might get a refurbished unit as a repair.

If this is a software bug then Apple knows about it. What is shady is this might drive people to buy a MagSafe charger during the period where the fix is unavailable. I would not put it past Apple to do something like this. They already didn't include the 20W USB-C charging brick which a lot of people don't already have. They also got caught dumbing down the performance and batter life on the iPhone 6 and 7 when they released the 8 and X.

I'll ask you the same question. What happened after you performed a Forced Restart (not a basic restart), which has solved this for many who were having this issue. Since you responded to the OP, it can be assumed you didn't take any time to read through the thread.

Since you likely didn't do that, I'll take my time and tell you how:

• Press and quickly release volume up button
• Then press and quickly release volume down button
• The press and KEEP HOLDING the power button (keep holding past the swipe to power off) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go

See if your phone charges on your Qi charger when you sign back in. My money's on IT WILL.

I just installed 14.2 and my new iPhone 12Pro still will not charge on my Anker PowerWave 7.5 stand. The charger worked flawlessly with with my iPhone XS, but the 12 Pro starts to charge and stops 1 second later. I was hoping this new ios release would fix it, but no such luck. Force restarts didn't work as many have suggested.

My iPhone wasn't charging wirelessly on the new Qi charger or on an older charging pad. After I restarted the phone, however, it began charging.

Always try turning a device off then on; and then try resetting it.

My iPhone 12 Pro is also intermittently failing to charge on a Samsung EP-P3100 wireless QI charger. Rebooting the phone resolves the problem for an unpredictable period of time then it resurfaces. IOS 4.2 DID NOT resolve the issue.

See if you can try your phone on another Qi charger. And if you know anyone who has a QC3.0 brick see if you can borrow it to see if that solves the issue with your Belkin.

You can honestly purchase a Qi Charger on Amazon with a QC3.0 brick in the $20 range. I have several at home and in the office.

I have 4 Qi Chargers and ALL charge my iPhone 12 Pro Max as expected.

Have you force restarted your phone? If you haven't do so:

1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
3. Press and hold the side button.
4. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Same issue with the 12 pro (tested with x3 12 pro's), using QC3.0 bricks, 6 different qi chargers tested so far - all different manufacturers & all working on xr, xs & 11 models, software is up to date at 14.2. None will charge the 12 pro. Force restart does not resolve as it has for others, it won't even charge temporarily. All of the chargers will recognize a phone has been placed on them but none will charge the device.

Certainly hoping for a software fix.

I talked over the phone with Apple, they claimed I'm the first and only one that report problem. When I told them about this thread just then decided to escalate. Mine charge after restart but after an hour won't charge. Family have iPhone X and all 3 charge right away.

So I am having the same problem this is when it is in the vertical position, if I turn the phone horizontally it charges. If I remove the case it will charge vertically. I know its not the case because it charges horizontally just not sure why it doesnt with the case on. i find it strange

What I'm seeing in a lot of the posts is incompatibility with some wireless chargers. They may not output enough power. They may have their charging coils in the wrong location, since iPhone 12 phones now have the coil for charging directly in the center of the phone for use with a Magsafe charger if someone wants to invest in that.

I would imagine the charger you own is either a single coil Qi charger or the coils are too low to effective connect with the center coil in the back of the phone. I had one charger which was single coil. It didn't charge our iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro. Our other chargers output a higher wattage and are dual coil, so they seem to work.

You may need to buy a better quality charger, with higher output and dual coils.

So if I turn the phone horizontally it will charge with the case on. If I turn it vertically it will not charge. With the case off it charges in both positions. I have two charges that respond the same way. I’ve purchased another charger will see if it makes a difference

You have updated to iOS 14.2.1? Just an FYI I was having this issue until I purchased newer wireless chargers. Since buying newer chargers with dual charging plates and 18W QC3.0 charging bricks, our iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Max are charging without hiccup wirelessly.
