iPhone 12 Pro Max not wirelessly charging

Why use a Magsafe case if you're not using a Magsafe charger? The magnets in the case may well be interfering with your wireless charger. As you've already noticed, it charges fine without the case. I'd suggest getting a different case.

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.

Are you using a Magsafe case? I have the leather Apple Magsafe case, and it will not charge on the wireless charger. However, when I put my Otterbox case on or no case at all, it will charge as expected. I think the magnetic ring in the case interferes with the wireless charging.

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

Hey I think that's a common firmware bug of iPhone 12 pro max regardless any colour or capacity. I posted before and test all my old wireless chargers with my iPhone12 Pro Max (just in case anyone ask it is blue and. 256G). and iPhone 12 (Red and 128G). All those chargers (momax one even 3 years old with only 10W) work perfectly fine with my iPhone 12, but Pro Max it won't charge in any of my chargers after update to 14.2.1 until I got tips from this community to restart the iPhone. So now it is fine but the guy who suggest restart also mentioned it is only temporary solve the issue. We still have to wait for Apple to fix this in next update.

If all old chargers work with iPhone 12 I don't see why it can't work with 12 Pro max (we might have to suffer slow charging speed). I won't purchase anymore new charger just because such issue Apple should get it fix.

Your logic is missing something important. iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro Max are completely different sized phones. The charger on the back of iPhone 12 Pro Max aren't hitting the charging plate on the charger in the same location, especially if the charger is a stand, where the phone rests on it vertically. The most successful chargers will have dual charging plates as opposed to a single charging plate in them.

May be or not. Under your suggestion do we have to buy different chargers for each model of iPhone. If your family just happen to have both Pro Max and regular size 12?

Also the issue is definitely not due to the size of iPhone. I had iPhone 11 Pro max previously and it also charged well with all my existing 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.

Seriously Apple, this is really disappointing. I just got the iphone 12 pro max, bought a new wireless charger and it DOESNT WORK. I’ve tried everything.. resets, restarts, updates.. and still nothing. Sort it out please.
