Mine is also on 14.2. Every new model phone that charges wirelessly with Qi (not just iPhones) runs into problems with Qi chargers that previously worked. Sometimes it is the Qi charger as it only is partially Qi compliant, sometimes it can be a new case, sometimes the device needs to be rebooted, sometimes you have to be more careful about placement, sometimes it is a new case. First test is always to do a forced restart of the phone, then unplug and plug back in the Qi charger and remove any case.

Have a new IPhone12 pro max wireless charging issues. Doesn’t work on existing QI charger so purchased the Morphie 3 in 1 from the Apple store. Whilst this works for a short while the white led soon starts to be flashing rapidly and changing stops. I have tried a hard reset and same problem. My wife’s 12 pro seems to be working no problem with the other Qi chargers and the new one.


I have seen other reports online of similar problems so hopefully a software fix is available soon or it is it a hardware problem?


regards
