To Charge the iPhone 15 Pro on a BMW Wireless charging pad or not ?

I held off but there is a new iOS 17.1.1 that Apple advertises as fixing the problem. What do you all think?

I just purchased a 2024 BMW X3 M40i, and my iPhone 15 Pro sits on the wireless charging pad and gets very hot but does not charge. However, my wife's iPhone 13 charges and does not get hot. This seems to lead me to think this is an iPhone 15 issue. Any more updates on this topic?

I updated to 17.1.1 and tested the activation of the key on my BMW, everything worked out, I put the cell phone in the induction charger to set up and start the car without problems... I didn't leave the cell phone there for a long time so as not to risk it, but to activate and start the car is working without problems.

Similarly, I have a 15 Pro Max and it only charges for a few seconds when I first set it on the wireless charging mat in my 2023 Bolt EUV. Coming from a 14 Pro Max with no such issues.

iOS 17.2.1 has unfortunately still not fixed the basic overheating issue.

I second this statement. I still have the same basic overheating issue with my iPhone 15 Pro (iOS 17.2.1) when wireless charging via my 2023 BMW 3 Series.

I wouldn’t risk it. My 3-day old iPhone15 Pro was fried after I charged it on my 2023 Z4 charge pad, which then caused Apple Pay not to work, then the phone went into recovery mode, restored and ruined the NFC chip. Apple replaced the phone but I cannot see any record of the fault being acknowledged by apple, let alone fixed. This is exactly the same issue reported by many others, mostly BMW drivers, but also some other makes too. I am waiting for some official word on fault & fix before I use the charge pad again.

Hello! Does this issue only occur when you place your iPhone 15 pro/pro max on a wireless charging pad, or is it a general problem? For instance, I don't have a wireless charging pad in my car; I only have a key pad (nfc reader) instead. So, I just want to make sure that this won't happen to me. (BMW i4, 2023).

Yeah, I'm certain that the pad in my car isn't a wireless charging pad. It's primarily a keyreader pad with NFC functionality for starting the engine without the physical key. E.g. I can put my iPhone or key card on that pad and rule the car.

Is the problem only when the phone is left on the charge pad for an extended period? I am using Digital Key with iDrive 7 so I have to place my phone on the pad to start my x5, but then I remove it.

But have you been using it and it's not damaging your cell phone? My BMW works the same way, it needs the phone on the charger to work but I haven't tested it for fear of damaging the phone.
