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.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 14

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.

Same issue with my fiancé’s iPhone mini. It works for a couple of day’s and then it requires a power cycle or restart to charge again. Very annoying since it always happens before wanting to sleep.

IPhone 12 mini - reboot... place on charger.. indicates charging and then soon afterwards stops charging.

This is quite frustrating. Apple needs to get it's act together and fix this

Just received iPhone 12 Mini from my work, and wireless charging is still not stable... 03/28/21....

The only true solution is to buy an Android phone. More options and choices anyway. Ex iPhone user here, I'll never go back to an iPhone.

Same issue here with brand new iPhone 12 mini.

It starts charging on wireless charger but charging stops after few minutes. Annoying feature and should be fixed asap!

Same here with my 12 mini and my Belkin Qi charger. Inconsistant charging every night, which tends to make me anxious every morning. Still no fix?
