iPhone 12 Pro Max not wirelessly charging

Mine is enabled. I was having the issues you are having UNTIL I purchased newer much better charging stands. Not a single issue since I got better chargers with dual charging plates and 18W QC3.0 charging bricks.

It could be the power output. I just hope it is just a software update fix. It seems to be only affecting the 12 Pro Max models. The last updates fixed the issues on the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro. And that time the Mini and Pro Max wasn’t released yet. So far it works well on my Mophie 7.5 W wireless charging pad. It just doesn’t work on the wireless charging pad in my Toyota Camry which is a lower watt output

Yeah I just updated my Pro Max to 14.2.1 and it still didn’t work in my car. I guess I will have to buy a new car charging plug. If anyone has any good ones please recommend! The mophie one listed in the Apple store has an arrival date in December and January. That’s too long of a wait!

Hello I too have had the same issues. It will start to charge my 12pro max .. after a few mins the charger will say charging but the phone is not. Or the charger will blink .. I have tried 3 different cases all name brands. 3 different chargers. New 15w Samsung & pixel stand & mophi 3 in 1. They all worked with my xs max and 11 pro max. Something is up with these new phones ..

There's little anyone can with charging pads in cars which weren't designed for these phones. My new 12 Pro Max is too large to even fit on the charging pad in my 2019 Mercedes. I didn't use it much before anyway.

I get what ur saying. I’m using a speck and 2 different UAG cases and 3 different wireless chargers still won’t charge. Only thing I have not done is charge without a case. But if that’s the only way to charge my 1300$ phone that’s is not going to be good. Apple needs to fix this issue .. or they did this on purpose to get people to buy a MagSafe wireless charger .. 🤔

I've said more than once that I purchased new chargers, with dual charging plates and 18W QC3.0 bricks and our phones are charging perfectly on them. Apple isn't forcing me to buy Magsafe, but I did wind up buying newer more powerful wireless chargers.

This must be a bug. As I update my iPhone 12 pro max to IOS14.2 already and still has this issue. But surely the reboot step help to get the wireless charging function for temporary use. Because I also test the same on iPhone 12 which work perfectly well on all my wireless chargers. So Apple please fix to bug as it is kind of confusing and ignoring.

i thought I’d post another update. I bought the charger lobsterghost1 recommended and my phone has been charging great. I’m using the Apple silicone MagSafe case and don’t have any issues with the new charger. All of my old chargers (bought from Apple) wouldn’t consistently charge my phone, which sucks since I spent so much money on them.

Then you should give serious consideration to getting a newer more modern wireless charger. I posted links to two above that work great and as you can see estevalley purchased after I recommended it and his charging issues are now gone.

I don’t know if this helps but this is DEFINITELY a wireless charging issues exclusively. In the video I watched it seemed to be the issue lies with the 12 Pro Max especially the gold phones. I have the 12 pro max in gold.

A couple of things I know for a fact. The older wired USB chargers can charge the 12 pro phone, so it only makes since that a wireless charger should also charge the phone.

Right now I am taking my 3rd party cord to the car to charge it “wired” while I am driving until this issue is resolved. Again I still take the stance that apple should sent 12 pro max users “comp” car and wireless chargers

iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Max here and we had issues. So yes, we bought new more modern chargers and now we have no issues whatsoever. So you can be frustrated with what you've got, or get newer models and not be frustrated.

My iPhone 12+pro doesn't charge on the magSave charger. It worked a couple of time and then quit. I only can use the usC cord that came with the iPhone. I have an apple case on the phone, but bought it at the Apple store both as the same time.

I also have the same issue with my Tacoma. I can charge without the Apple Magsafe case but if I put the case on it doesn’t charge. I tried another thin case to see if it would work but it still wouldn’t work. I don’t really need to take it out of the case unless my wife and I are both using the truck to charge our phones on a trip. The real point is I shouldn’t have to. You what Steve Jobs used to say ... “It just works” .. Pretty much everything else works except some buggy apps , but that will always be cropping up ..

from Quad Lock

the real answers, major apple stuff up

WIRELESS CHARGING COMPATIBILITY

Magsafe & iPhone 12

Due to the thickness of the Quad Lock mounting feature, the Apple Magsafe charger will not magnetically attach when using a Quad Lock Case. 

Apple has also made changes to the iPhone 12 models which reduced the wireless charging range by approximately 50%. Unfortunately, this means that the Magsafe charger is unable to charge iPhone 12's when using a Quad Lock case. 

However previous iPhone models (iPhone 8 through to iPhone 11) do charge using the Magsafe wireless charger but the phone will need to be aligned manually on the Magsafe charger.
