Wiki: Qi Chargers not working with the iPhone 12/Pro/Max due to the magnets

[Jimpilot]

I'm interested in purchasing the Nomad Base Station Stand (and the 12 Pro Max), and I was wondering if you're able to charge your iPhone 12 with the stand after installing the 14.2 update?

I have the Nomad Stand and it has worked fine from when I got the IPhone 12 Pro. Someone mentioned earlier that their stand didn’t work but they has a 12 W brick attached. When they used the 18W brick that came with the stand it worked fine

Oof, the stand is really beautiful, I was dreading needing to buy another one. 😁

Can anyone confirm if cars that wireless charging mats are having any issues. I have a Merc on order that has wireless charging. Waiting on a response from Mercedes

Anyone having issues with the clear Mous case not charging with the wireless charger, I have a 12 pro max and a Belkin Boostup special edition wireless charging dock for iPhone and Apple Watch sold by Apple.

Has any one tried theirs with this Belkin 3 in 1 wireless charger. I have this one for my 11 Pro Max and Apple Watch and I’m curious to know if it works with the 12/12Pro. Of course as I’ll be getting the 12 Pro Max which is a different size altogether it may or may not work.

I have this but not the 3 in 1 just the iPhone and watch charger. But I am having difficulties with my 12 pro max charging with my Mous clear case, I am confused about it because the phone does charge without the case and the case is clear so I know it doesn’t have magnets like my old mouse case did.

Not working on my Anker wireless charging stand.

My 12 PM doesn't like my Samsung Qi wireless charging stand, tried with Apple silicon case, UAG case and even no case. Starts to charge for a few seconds before light flashes red and charging stops. Kinda bummed about it. If I hold the stand horizontal and place the phone on it sideways it seems to work. Thinking the phone is too tall for it to properly hit the charging spot (must be the placement of the magnets). Worked with no issues with my 11 PM, Note 10+ and other big phones.

Right I've got my experience here. iPhone 12 Pro max does NOT work with Choetech wireless charging stand.
It works only without the case ... don't understand how come the genuine silicone case shields it!!!

I need a wireless charging STAND and it seems the Anker below works. Any real life experience with iPhone 21 pro max and silicone case?

I have Anker PowerWave 7.5 w/ Internal Cooling Fan and RavPower. Neither work with my 12 Pro Max. On the Anker the blue light flashes and doesn't charge. On the RavPower it charges for about 5 seconds then charging stops and the light blinks red.

Auch!! Don't know why I thought I read somewhere the Anker worked well! Probably it was the Anker Powerwave Upgraded (which looks identical to the other one).

Anyone??

 

[shavou]

Also, it's extremely strange as the Choetech stand I've got works with the 12 Pro Max without the silicone case!
It does not make any sense!!!

It’s probably the additional magnets

Yeah, I've been wondering what the difference is between the Anker PowerWave that I have and the Anker PowerWave Upgraded and if the "Upgraded" version works with 12 Pro Max.

I just purchased a stand from Etsy that incorporates Apple's MagSafe charger.

I have a previous model of the Carved Wireless Charger (https://www.carved.com/collections/thin-wireless-chargers-all) which is thinner than the current one and has a fixed cable. Todays my first day using a 12 Pro Max with it and my phone shows a charging symbol but with the display off, playing music only, I'm losing charge. Suspect its either not working or is charging too slowly to have a positive charge. The charger itself has no LED so no feedback available from the charger.

I have an iOttie desktop charger at home that I might give a test later on.

Update: I rebooted my phone after my MagSafe also failed to charge my phone over night, and following the reboot the Carved charger above is now charging my phone OK.

iOttie Auto Sense Automatic Wireless Charging CD/Air Vent Mount doesn't work

I was shopping around for chargers and almost got this one. I'll hold off now.

Has anyone tried the Aukey one?

 

[austeriorfeel]

Using 12 Pro Max with the Comsol wireless fast charging stand (10W).

Placing the phone on by itself, it charges for 5 seconds and then stops.

Placing the phone on with MagSafe silicone case attached, it charges just fine.

???

I like the concept of the one on the Etsy but I find the shape ugly. Hopefully there are or will be other ones out there.

I'm having problems with the Mophie Wireless charging stand on my iPhone 12 Mini. My phone charges 1-2% and gets a warmer than usual(I think) and then the indication light on the Mophie charges starts blinking and the phone stops charging. I have to of these charges and same resaults on both of them.
My girfriend also mentioned that her iPhone 12 charged really slow so I guess its the same problem on the the non mini and non pro models too.

I’m not sure why several of you are having problems with the Anker Power Wave. I have a 12 Pro Max with an ESR clear case and it works with my Anker Power Wave version 7.5 I bought from Amazon in February of this year.

Well this explains why my Choetech doesn't work. My flat Anker works.

 

[TyG8]

I have one of the phone/watch Belkin chargers and my 12 Pro Max won’t charge on it. If I hold it sideways it will, but has to be placed just right.

Ugh. Frustrating.



Edit - I put the phone upside-down and it's charging....so I guess the magnets or whatever are higher on the top of the phone, so however it's positioned upside down it works.

Just picked this up for my 12 pro max and it works

mophie 3-in-1 wireless charging pad worled with apple leather case. Iphone 12 pro max. But it has to be in exact spot to charge.

I’m not sure why several of you are having problems with the Anker Power Wave.

Probably because there's more than one model.

I can report that the Anker PowerWave 7.5 I bought in 2018 (part number A2522) does not work with my iPhone 12 Pro.

 

[BeatCrazy]

I have the Anker PowerWave+ (has the Apple Watch charger pop-up slot).

It works with the 12 Pro Max, but just barely. You have to be very deliberate about how/where you lay it down. Mainly because the huge camera bump makes placement tricky. Not sure if that's been mentioned before. If you use a case, it's obviously even tougher.

Hmmm... that’s interesting as that’s the same model number as mine yet mine works fine.
