iPhone wireless car charging stopped after iOS 17.1 update

Common issue that was corrected with the iOS 17.2 update. Confirm that you are running the latest update.

I’d have the dealer look into TSB 22-NA-235. The link is https://www.tsbsearch.com/Chevrolet/22-NA-235

the tests that the dealers run just show that the charger is outputting properly. This TSB implies the charger module may be overly sensitive and turnoff with iPhones and certain android devices. This TSB directs the dealer to reprogram so that the auto shutoff set point is higher.

I had to go to multiple dealerships before I found one that knew how to execute this fix.

Rotating my iPhone 180 degrees fixed this reported issue for me. (Face ID is at the bottom and charging port at the top while placed in the charging pad). Saw this suggestion on GMC’s website. Worth try to see if it works for you.

I have a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse LS with stock charging pad, and an iPhone 13 Pro Max with clear TORRAS case with compatible MagSafe built-in kickstand. I’m on iOS 17.3.1.

If you want the final release of 17.2 which has the fix, go into software update and allow developer updates. You’ll see the fix in the notes and download it. After downloading, you can put it back to getting the normal updates. Or you can wait until next week, should be released. I downloaded it and it’s fixed. Up to you.

Good News:

i just downloaded IOS 17.2, It fixed my problem. My 2023 Chevy Blazer wireless phone charger again charges my Iphone 15 PRO.

I have a 2024 Buick Encore GX Avenir, got it in September and went through the same issue. Had it at the dealer and they found nothing. iOS 17.2 fixed my charging issue, has worked fine since then. If you’re still having an issue and you’re up to date on the iOS, could be a bad phone. On the BMW’s, their iPhone 15’s NFC chips were getting fried. When iOS 17.1 came out, it fixed that for them but screwed up GM and some other cars and devices. The NFC chips were still getting warm and they would cut the charging off, hence, the 10 seconds. iOS 17.2 fixed that. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone above the tech that answers the phone. They don’t know nothing about this and can’t give you some kind of answer. They can only help you with Apple’s hardware.

Maybe if we all report it to Apple they’ll fix it! They did fix the same issue in BMW’s in 17.1.1

The issue wasn’t exactly the same though. Apparently with those using the BMW and Sheraton Toyota vehicles wireless charging also caused an issue where functions like Apple Pay didn’t work. Theoretically if it were the exact same issue it would have been fixed by updating to iOS 17.1.1 (notice Apple never said which vehicles and only gave a blanketed statement in the 17.1.1 notes although it was known that the issue at the very minimum involved BMWs and a Toyota model). I imagine that if everyone is reporting the issue via the Apple feedback form they may be working on a fix. The real question is just how long it will take for that update to release assuming the issue is solely fixable via an iOS update.

Without getting into trouble discussing beta software, 17.2 has exited the beta program and has been publicly designated as a Release Candidate by Apple. Developers who have downloaded the RC have confirmed it has fixed the issue.

17.2 fixed the problem for my 2022 GMC Sierra 2500.

Hi all, I can see here that the latest iOS 17.2 has fixed many people's car wireless charging issues. However, I am UK based, drive a 2021 Nissan Qashqai and still after latest update cannot charge wireless in the car with my iPhone 15. Phone works absolutely fine on home wireless pad (Belkin). Before, I had an iPhone 13 and this charged wirelessly in car, no issues. Tested other devices (with older versions of iOS software and a different phone brand) in the car and they all charge. I have reported to Apple support, and also logged with Nissan and each saying to contact each other about it, and I am getting nowhere. Thought I would add a comment here as well, to say NOT fixed in ALL cars.

I have a 2024 Buick Encore GX Avenir with the technology package and picked it up on Sept. 7th and I still had the iPhone 14 Pro Max and it charge great. I preordered the iPhone 15 pro max and it charged fine until iOS 17.1 was released and now it will charge for about 5 to 10 seconds and cut off. I had it at the dealer for 3 days and they ran diagnostics and everything came back fine. They put an iPhone 14 Pro Max on the pad and it charged fine. My service advisor put his work iPhone 14 Pro on the pad and it charged. They also tried android phones and they charged. Is Apple looking into this? I called Apple Support last night and explained what was going on and he was baffled at first because all other iPhones worked on it but not the iPhone 15 Pro Max. They told me to call GM...I know they are not trained on this type of issue but it's not GM. Just because the iPhone isn't breaking like on the BMW which they fixed with iOS 17.1 and broke a lot of GM vehicles wireless charging. Its affecting Cadillacs as well.

I upgraded by iPhone 12 Pro to IOS 17.1.1, and my Grip All-in-1 Wireless Charger now only charges for 10 seconds. This occurs in both a Toyota Tundra and Kia Telluride. Since the charger is still under warranty, I took it back to the store where I bought it and replaced it with a new, identical charger with the same results. I took the new charger back and exchanged it again for another new charger with the same results. It certainly appears to be an IOS 17.1.1 issue.

Same issue. I place my phone on a wireless charger at night and have for the past 2 years with my 12 pro. Ever since the update my phone is dead in the morning. It actually has less battery than when I went to bed. Droid is looking better and better

You seem to be having a different issue than what this thread is reporting. This thread is about users who have had their wireless car charger not working, but was fixed in iOS 17.2. It had nothing to do with charging the device wirelessly using a home charger.

Maybe start a new question with the issue you are having, since it does not pertain to car charging and provide details on the brand of the charger you are using and also if you have tried using a different charger to eliminate that as the source of the problem. Some other factors to include are if you have a case on your iPhone and tried without the case or if you receive the charging notification when setting on the charger.

Fixed in iOS 17.2!

Done. iOS 17.2 contains the fix and should be arriving to your phone shortly!
