iPhone 12 Pro Max - Apple leather MagSafe case - Belkin Boost up stand from Apple Store -
Won’t charge past 95% and one night 34% and didn’t charge at all. Removing the case and its ok (magnets in case)
Same set up but with a new Pitaka MagEZ case - same issues. The case magnets are enough to stop the Qi charging at 95%, then it pulses the charging on and off every 40 mins for 2 mins charging, then turns off again. (Magnets in the case)
If I place a naked 12 Pro Max on the Qi stand, it charges properly and fine and I wake up with it at 100% without fail.
So this is a MagSafe issue with any case (Apple’s own included) and Qi charging. Ergo this is an Apple fail as far as I’m concerned. There are far too many issues across the world with the 12’s for it to be anything other than a massive oversight on their part. They want us all using MagSafe. Which incidentally heats up the iPhone a lot and will kill the battery life quicker than anything else. Heat is a massive battery health killer. So well done Apple for messing this up.
Now we’ve all got Qi charging issues thanks to you.
And before you say it, I’m not going to keep rebooting my iPhone. I’m going to dig out the Apple stand, a 5W plug and the Lightning cable and charge it that way. Proper Old Skool charging! lol.
ALSO, when fitting the Apple leather case, I no longer get any MagSafe animation at all, EVER. It just does not work. After force restarting and rebooting my iPhone, it still doesn’t work. It is b0rked. I even wasted cash on a MagSafe charger so I could test them all out!! What an idiot I am. It works btw.
