Qi charging does not work with iPhone 12 pro max

I have the same issue, have just purchased a new wireless charger, it worked for a few day after I received it, then I think Apple had an update, and it’s not charged since, this charger was purchased specifically for iPhone 12 Pro Max.

I have two other chargers similar they won’t charge it either or, but did before !

like others I hope APPLE read these discussions!

I have a 12 ProMax and have the same issue, to the point where I stopped trying to use my Qi charger. I’ve had to fidget with the placement to get it to start charging, only to wake up to find the charge connection had dropped sometime in the night...not long after I put it on the charger.

My phone is also completely dropping signal and I get a message that tells me my phone hasn’t been activated. When I restart it, it works for a while, but it is a repeating scenario.

Lastly, The Bluetooth connection (only in my 2009 GMC Sierra) is useless. The phone appears to pair fine but the connection drops when I use it...

All VERY frustrating.

This issue was reported on launch with Iphone 12. At the time there were numerous articles saying Apple would fix it. It's a known issue for iphone 12 (both pro and pro max). Turning it off is at best a very temporary solution. This is a defect Apple should be FIXING, not just deflecting on others. If you say your phone is compatible with a charger, it should be compatible. It's also far too convenient that this "issue" came up on a phone that also supports magsafe. Perhaps another class action law suit would help Apple put a better focus on the customer.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 12 Pro Max not consistently wireless charging on chargers that worked just fine with my iPhone 11 Pro Max.

This is definitely an Apple issue.

Could be, but I have the latest update, worked before update, there must be an Apple problem so many people are saying the same thing, not charging on Qi ?

I am using the 12 Pro and have the same issue three different brands of wireless chargers in my family.

I find it requires somewhat more precise charger placement than previous iPhone models. Of course, you must use a recognized and approved Qi charger.

How to wirelessly charge your iPhone - Apple Support

Ok thanks, I will need to contact support although replacements will be difficult at the moment.

Seems like I’m not the only one though as various posting on the web with same problems. Could be a serious problem for Apple though if lots of phones are affected around the globe.

Phone was updated to 14.2 which supposedly goes some wireless issue with mag safe so might be related?

I tried restarting iPhone 12 Pro Max, made no difference, my other half has a iPhone 8s no problems charging from Qi charger, nor did I with my old iPhone 10 x so APPLE have a problem?

Anyone else with the same problem?

I'm not having a problem.

Not sure it is a software issue, I have a 12 Pro Max and I've had the Mophie 3-in-1 for a while. My new phone charges just fine on the Mophie. You might have a hardware problem.

Not having the issue with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Might be a hardware problem with your iPhone.

Interesting !

Mine doesn’t have that issue. Did yours come with a warranty?

Hi.

I'm now debating contacting Apple as there seems to be to many problems with the 12 series, and for the money they charge, I expect it to be PERFECT !
