This isn't true. All iPhone 12s are Qi compatible up to 7.5W.
A friend charged a 12 mini on mine a week or so ago. He put a pencil on the ledge and then put the phone on top of that. Not super stable, but it worked. No case, though. The phone does have to be quite still for a few seconds for the charging to start. Maybe that's all it was?
It allows the phone to slide down slightly lower which aligns the charge coil to where charging can occur.
Torras case ( TORRAS Diamonds Series Compatible with iPhone 12 Pro Max Case 6.7 inch 2020, Slim Fit Thin Shockproof Hard Plastic Back & Flexible Bumper Case, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CZCMQJN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_RZUZFbT2ZK70W) on Amazon works but only after installing the Jeda spacer. Interestingly my wife has same phone but bought the Spigen case and it won’t work even with the spacer.
Thanks. I saw similar products on etsy so I ordered those instead of jeda since they ship slow.
At least it charges? My wife is the one with the pro max, I still have my pixel 4xl. I guess it being on the passenger side is better then having to replace the whole pad / nothing. Could also maybe be the Leathercase. Wife has a thin bumper case. Even my pixel 4xl sometimes gets finicky when it wants to charge depending on placement.
My leather case is still on backorder, but due to arrive next week. I've also modified the spacer model the Jeda and Etsy offerings are based on to be more applicable to the Y. If the leather case doesn't charge reliably in the driver side slot, I'll adjust the model to fix it. I do know the the model as I have it today works in both slots with the Apple silicone case.
Due to the design of the thing, you can't move it down a half inch. The internal structure of the connection mechanism prevents this. Based on tolerances, I think you could move it down by about 3mm and still be able to connect all the pieces together. Perhaps a little more. But it's a big enough change to the model that I'd probably only do it if necessary.
