In short, yesterday the Apple Genius of Geniuses at the

Denver, CO store told me, Apple is working the issue and not to use the car

wireless charge, because the NFC chip is overheating and shutting down the

wireless charging. Continuous use of the car wireless changer will damage the

iPhone.

The longer story, my brand-new iPhone 15 Pro (iOS 17.1.2) does

this with my 2023 GMC Sierra HD. My old iPhone 12 works perfect with my truck,

even with iOS 17.1.1 & 17.1.2. On Saturday I spent 3.5 hours on the phone

with Apple support troubleshoot the issue and gathering diagnostic logs. The

interesting thing is that for 3 of those hours the iPhone was docked on the

truck wireless charger and just about ever 5 minutes the wireless charging

would connect for 5 seconds. Then yesterday I happened to be in an Apple store,

so I went in and asked them about the issue. That is when I was told more in-depth

about the issue and not to place the iPhone on the truck’s wireless charging

area because it may fry the NFC chip.

I don’t think it’s the camera lenses because my wireless charger in my car is an upright slot that you stick your phone down into so it’s not reliant on it laying flat. I can visibly see from the indicator on my infotainment system that it recognizes the device, and it starts charging, and then it stops. So I’m inclined to think that doesn’t have anything to do with it, because mine just doesn’t require it to lay flat.

I just received my phone two days ago. I’ve been in my car twice with it. It will not charge at all. I have tried every thing known to man to try and troubleshoot this situation. I have purchased items from Amazon to try and convert nothings working.

I got this phone and traded in my iPhone 13 Pro Max I at this point when my old phone back because this is absolutely stupid and it’s wasting my time.

I JUST upgraded my iPhone 13 pro to an iPhone 15 pro and I'm having the same wireless charging issue on my mophie charging pad and my 2024 Hyundai Tucson's charging pad :'(((( Had I known this was going to be an issue, I would NOT have upgraded. On top of that, my new iPhone 15 pro drops 20% battery overnight with no use. I'm very disappointed.

Also no significant battery% improvement. 30 mins only 1% added on my battery. iPhone has the latest release 17.4. also i used the original Apple magsafe clear case. Any ideas for resolution? Thx

I just experienced this in my truck. I had it connected to CarPlay and while driving, the CarPlay screen blipped and then lost connection.


Pulled over and replugged the phone in, got the buzz that it was charging, saw the icon for charging, then it disappeared.

While this was happening, the CarPlay icon on my truck showed up with the green play button then disappeared.


I got home and my phone works with my PC but not my wall charger.


Tried two different charging cables with my truck with the same behavior.

Same issue here on my 2023 Chevy Colorado. Connects for a few seconds and then disconnects. I sometimes get a hit or miss when it does stay connected but that’s more a miss than a hit. Had no problems with my IPhone 12. Thought it might be the case but nope same issue. I am now plugging it in which is super annoying and against what the Q charging is. Hope they look into a fix.
