iPhone 12 pro won’t wirelessly charge

One temporary solution for the iPhone 12 is to turn the phone off and put it on the charger. In fact, this also worked for my iPhone 11 pro. Therefore, one last time: I just want to state that this issue affects different iPhone models.

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.

Lobsterghost, please understand the consistent theme in the messages above. Even though you may not be having a problem lots of others, including me, do have a real problem with our existing wireless chargers working with iPhone 12 models. Google this problem and you will find a lot out there about this issue. Where there is smoke, especially a lot of smoke, you can be reasonably certain there is a fire.

I have a new iphone 12 Mini. I also have three stand up wireless chargers and three disc wireless chargers, all supplied by substantial power supplies. All our phones, including two relatively new iPhone SE-2020's and an XS, wirelessly charge without issue. However, my new my new iPhone 12 Mini will not charge on any of the stand up chargers, even without the Apple leather case, and it only charges intermittently on the disks. If I reboot it and immediately place it on any of our chargers, it starts charging immediately. Wait just a few minutes after rebooting and it will not charge. I have picked up the phone too many times in the morning during just the past few weeks with an almost dead battery because it appeared to charge when I set on a disk the previous night. This is the exact problem discussed above and it is very real.

This issue (having to revert to plugging the thing in to a charging cable) and loosing 20% of my available battery capacity because Optimized Battery Charging won't stay off, are really destroying what might otherwise have been an excellent experience with an otherwise excellent expensive new phone. Both need to be immediately addressed and fixed and the excuses need to stop as in your November 17 @ 11:01message above (I am assuming you are associated with Apple).

I have paid attention. And I too had a problem charging our iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro Max. UNTIL I replaced our chargers with a newer charging stand with dual charging plates and a 18W QC3.0 Charging Brick.

Since doing that, there have been zero issues with wireless charging on either phone.

Can you link exactly what you found that works for you? Looking for a resolution myself.

I can turn my phone off and place it on my current 3-in-1 charger and it will charge to 100%, but it won’t charge the next day unless I do this pier off routine.

Thank you in advance.

That I can't answer. I just now I wasn't getting my phones to charge reliably and chose to simply chuck what wasn't working and get something which does work. And it has worked without interruption for going on three weeks now.

Sure, I bought two of these. In a few threads I have recommended this and people have reported back they bought one for themselves and it's been working well for them.

Only way my iPhone 12 Pro charge at wireless charger is connecting phone via lighting cable and when it's charging put at wireless charger and disconnect lighting cable. It stay charging wireless until full charge. I don't think is software related because my iPhone X charge wireless with the latest IOS. I think the magnets at model 12 is the problem.

I could be the wireless charger you own. I was having issues on iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Max. I ordered newer wireless chargers with dual plates (important for iPhone 12) and a higher output QC3.0 charging brick. Have had no issues since.

Unfortunately, you will discover it will only wirelessly charge for a very short period of time after rebooting. Actually, the fact that a reboot will make it work perfectly with my three Qi stand up chargers, but for only a short period of time, tells me this is NOT a problem with my already QI rated chargers but something with the phone.

Your logic should make sense, but in my case, with my older chargers, rebooting worked until it didn't. Once the chargers were all replaced with newer chargers with dual charging plates and higher watt QC3.0 chargers, I've not had to reboot once now in over 3 weeks.

Based on my recommendation, others have replaced their older chargers with the one I recommended and they too have been having no issues.

You can stick with your logic (which I admit should make sense, but just didn't long term) or get a new charger.

But why should I replace six (3 stand up and 3 discs) relatively new (June, 2020) popular highly rated QI certified charges at just under $30 each just because I bought a new phone? That is insane and a waste of money when all that needs to happen is for Apple to rectify a fault that obviously exists at least with the 12 Mini. These chargers are QI certified and work just fine with our two SE-2020 and XS phones. Apple advertises the 12 Mini to work with any Qi certified charger, not just the mag-safe devices, so now buying more new chargers is just an absurd thing to do.

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.

It will not charge wirelessly as Apple has changed charge method implanting magnets in a ring on back of phone . Will only charge with lightening cord or an Apple MagSafe charger. If we knew we would certainly avoid Apple. I am positive it is not a software issue. Instead a hardware issue. Could it be another rip off forcing users to buy MagSafe chargers??? As if I really don’t know!!!!!!
