No, you’ll have to snap it off while you charge.

iPhone 14 Pro Max is not charging wirelessly when the MagSafe compatible leather waller is attached. This week (3 Feb 2023) I bought an iPhone 14 Pro Max along with the compatible MagSafe compatible Leather Wallet with Find My support. All bought through the official Apple online shop. I also bought a MagSafe compatible leather case from them. I want to charge my iPhone using the official Apple MagSafe adapter that came with my iPhone 12. Unfortunately when the wallet is attached to the phone, it won't charge wirelessly. The MagSafe powers supply is an official apple one which was bought from Apple with an iPhone 12 Pro Max. It's using the official Apple USB "C" 9.0V==2.2A (18 Watts) power supply. My phone software is up-to-date, running iOS 16.3 This is what I have tried: 1) The iPhone detects the wallet whenever it is attached. "Find My" works. But the phone does not charge wirelessly. 2) The phone charges fine when on the MagSafe charger without the wallet. 3) The phone charges fine when the Apple leather MagSafe Case is on the phone. 4) I have tried changing power supply, including an official Apple 30 Watt charger. 5) I have tried a non-Apple brand wireless charger and get the same results as 1-3 above. I.e. the phone charges with the MagSafe compatible case, but not with the MagSafe compatible Wallet 6) After going through all of the above, I concluded that it must be the Apple Leather Mag Safe compatible Wallet which is defective, So I went through the after-sales service and received a new leather wallet the next day (well done Apple). - I have to return the old one to avoid being charged. I attached the new wallet and went through all of the steps 1 to 5 above with exactly the same result. The phone simply won't charge wirelessly when the wallet is attached, whether the phone is in its leather case or not. Since my phone charges fine when just the Mag-Safe compatible leather case is attached, it seems like both phone and charger are working fine. Before I ask for my my money back, does the community have any suggestions? Does anyone else have the same problem?
