iPhone 12 pro wireless charge problem

[BitDriver]

I have a new iPhone 12 pro and can no longer charge wirelessly. I have the 70 reg 2019 Model 3 that came with the wireless charger and new frunk design.

I don’t have my old phone to test unfortunately.
Anyone else with the same configuration?


Thx

I bought a wireless charger for mine (early 2020) and wondered if the new iPhone 12 would work and it does seem to.

Are you both using Pros? The Pro is bigger so maybe that puts it out of range of the charging coil? Just a thought.

Yes mines the 12 pro.

Perhaps a quick reset of the car might bring it back into life?

have you wirelessly charged it elsewhere? i.e. are you sure the wireless actually works

I have tested the phone and it charges wireless elsewhere. I have also tried multiple positions in the charger as well as taking the pad put of the thing it sits to try to get some kind of contact. I’ll try a reboot shortly and report back.

What did you buy? Thx

Still no joy. I tried a reset (scroll wheels) and a power/on/off. I also tested the wireless pad plugged in via the rear usb c. Nothing from the wireless pad. FYI the phone will charge via a cable from the various usb c outlets (front and rear).

Do you have the wireless pad shipped with the vehicle? thx

Have you tried removing any phone case? May have made the distance to charging coil too great?

I have the iPhone 12 Pro and it charges fine. Are you using any type of case?

I just bought a cheap one from Amazon, about £18 if I remember.

if you want me to check my orders I can do.

thats good to know. I dont have a case. I'll try my old phone when I get a chance and if that doesnt work looks like I'll need to book a service appointment

Hi, I noticed a problem wireless charging last night with my 12 pro, thought it was my apple silicone case that was the issue initially but on trying on a qi charger at home with and without the case it still didn't work, did a reset of the phone (up,down volume followed by pressing the power button on the phone until the apple appeared) and seems to work fine on my desktop charger and the Tesla charging mat with the case on.

Hopefully there’ll be a MagSafe solution soon.

The charging coils have shifted on the 12pro for sure. I have an Anker standup Qi charger and my 12pro will no longer charge while standing up right (or upside down) it will register theres a charger there but won't charge. Laying the phone on its side will charge the phone. Hopefully a magsafe solution is in the works unless someone 3d prints a holder for the magsafe charger (not sure if it will charge the full 15w depending on the plug option) or just adjust the existing 3d templates to accomodate the shift in the coils placement.

The last 2 BMW's I have been in would not even fit an iphone pro with a very minimal case in the wireless charger slot. Something which seemed like a massive oversight, since on the Venn diagram of iphone pro owners and BMW owners I am guessing there is significant overlap.
