iPhone 12 Pro Max not wirelessly charging

Received my iPhone 12 Pro Max today but it won't wirelessly charge on any of the three Q1 chargers I have. My XS Max and wife's X all work fine. Why is this? I have the Apple silicone case but with the case or without it still won't charge. Starts for a few seconds then the chargers flash a few times and it stops charging.


Have tried the following:


Erase Network Settings - Didn't work

Hard reset (Volume up / Volume down / hold power until Apple logo shows) - Didn't work


Seeing lots of similar posts on other forums. Perhaps the magnets are interfering and Apple just want you to get a Magsafe charger instead?


(Had to select iPhone 11 Pro Max for what device am I referring too as 12 Pro Max not listed)

Try a different power adapter - I bought a wireless charger and was having the same issues, not charging iPhone 12 Pro Max, EarPods and Apple Watch. So I switched the power adapter and used a ‘Anker’ brand Quick Charge 3.0 which solved the issue of the wireless charging for all three devices.

My iPhone 12 Pro Max isn't charging wirelessly anymore. I've tried it with different chargers. I've tried it with Apples magsafe charger and duo charger, Samsung charger and Native Union charger. None of them was worked. I've got iOS 14.4.1 (latest at the current time). I tried soft and hard resets. Nothing worked. Any suggestions?

Yes, the reset worked for me once. This is ridiculous. It's obviously a software problem. I am already unhappy with some of the "new" features of this iphone. I purchased a wireless charging device directly from the Apple website-and it doesn't work. I don't know if anyone noticed, but it takes a crapload of time for the phone to charge from the normal plug in. Come on, Apple!
