iPhone 12 mini - wireless charging not working (version 14.3)

I’ve had the mini phone since release date and ever since day 2 the wireless charging doesn’t work. The only fix is to restart the phone and wireless charging will work for about a day before it stops working again. I’ve tried 2 different kinds of chargers, removing the case... same issues. I have an iPhone 8 phone for work that works just fine with the chargers. I was hoping the latest IOS update would work as it mentions fixing wireless charge fix... however it did not correct the problem. I know I can “just restart my phone” every night, but that kind of annoying after spending so much on a new phone. Hopefully Apple gets this fixed sooner than later.

Finally broke down and sent my 12 mini in for repair. They replaced iPhone Rear System Item 661-18818. It’s been perfect since then. It was a pain but worth it.

My iphone 12 mini stopped charging wirelessly completely. Even restart/reboot does not help. The newer update has fixed the problem... LOL. NO MORE Wireless Charging. Assume this feature is not there...!!!


Lot many people are now complaining about Apple products... I am sure the quality and reliability of apple products has gone down significantly. being an apple iPhone user since First iPhone, it is heartbreaking. I cannot kinda move to Android and now stuck with Faulty and Errorsome iPhone.

I'm having speed issues when charging my mini. I've had it for about a week or two and have not had it back to 100% or close in a long time. I'm primarily using a wireless charger but it has been impossible to gain any charge. It's been sitting on the charger for hours now and barely moves up a percentage.

I'm trying to get a cable to see if it charges faster, but this charger is working perfectly fine with other phones (fast charge too).

Same issue here. 12 mini and it charged when it was new for about 2 weeks then stopped. Haven't been able to charge it wirelessly since. This seems to be a wide spread problem. Come on slApple, fix this!!!!!!!! If something isn't done to help the many people with this issue then I will never buy another Apple product. Really tired of the proprietary connectors anyway.
