iPhone 12 Pro Max and charging

I had some trouble initially but if I pushed it down a bit it started working. I have the apple silicon case on it but it’s definitely more fickle than the 11 pro it replaced.
Yes, it will charge (albeit slowly) without a case, however I cannot get the 12 Pro Max to charge with a case on, since the phone needs to sit lower on the charging pad. I can get it to charge in the case if I slide off the plastic lip on the bottom of the charging pad, but this would allow the phone to fall into the storage compartment below.
I did the same thing using double-sided tape so the puck stays in place. It actually charges the phone much faster than the Tesla wireless charging pad using the same USB-C outlet.

I just got my iPhone 12 Pro XS-Max, and every time I have placed it in MY (Sept Build), it charges it...
Do you have a case with your 12ProMax? Maybe with the Apple leather case it added just enough to render the coils out of range.
My vin is 57,xxx. I don’t think it’s a matter of build date. I think the phone’s additional height just places the coils ever so slightly out of reach. I have a scosche charger in my other car that is doing the same thing. However, if I push it just a little lower on the lower arm that holds the phone it will charge. Just a mm and it made the difference between charging or not. Although I doubt it’s charging well since it’s barely in place.

My Model Y is in the shop right now, but trying my new iPhone 12 Pro Max on the TapTes wireless charger I put in there, there is no way it will fit vertically with any kind of case on it. Thank goodness, this is the TapTes charger that has a horizontal option. It works fine in that position.

Not a problem at all.
weird; I got the exact same case for my 12promax and it doesn't charge with the case on, in any orientation.
I just got the iPhone 12 Pro Max with same case and I wasn’t able to charge it.

Of note. The new Pro Max doesn't sync contact or text messages either. Gotta love how new stuff just doesn't work...
I also got iPhone pro max 12 with leather MagSafe case and charging does not work. I will try a cup holder mount with a built in charger or a taptes charging pad next.
Nope. Didn’t work for me even when upside down. Currently using a Apple leather case.
