Qi charging no longer working

My brand new iPhone 12 Pro Max has stopped charging with my Qi chargers. Before I had to reboot the phone to get it to charge, but now no more. Qi chargers are the kind where you can only place a device one way and they're charging other devices just fine.

Phone suddenly won't QI charge. Tried everything. Anyone else have this after iOS14? Phone will no longer charge on either my desk QI charger or the one on my nightstand. The chargers still work, so why did it suddenly stop with my iPhone 11? Anyone else have this issue?

Belkin qi charger won't work with iPhone 14 Pro? I have a Belkin BOOST1CHARGE Wireless Charging Stand Special Edition 7.5W that I bought _from Apple_, and worked just fine with my old iPhone X. I just got a brand new iPhone 14 Pro and it seems this charger is not compatible, but I can't find any explanation anywhere online. When I place my new phone on the charger, the green LED lights up on the charger and the phone does what you expect -- I get a charger connected chime and the charging animation. For about 30 seconds or so everything is working and the phone seems to be charging. But then the LED on the charger changes to orange, indicating that it has detected a "foreign object", and the phone is no longer charging. This happens both with and without the MagSafe silicone case on the phone. anyone know why this is happening? iPhone 14 pro is supposed to be compatible with Qi wireless chargers.

iphone 11 pro charging port Is anyone having a problem with their iPhone 11 charging port? The only way mine will charge is with a wireless charger. My daughter's phone and her boyfriend's phone had the same problem and they have since bought the iPhone 13.

Hello,

Yeah, some of the iPhone 12's don't work very well with the old Qi chargers. If your budget allows it, you will probably be happier with the new MagSafe charger:

Good luck.
