Apple working on fix for iPhone 12 wireless charging bug
Apple is working on a fix to address a bug which is causing the iPhone 12 not to work properly with some Qi-certified chargers, according to 9to5Mac, who cites a reader who spoke with an Apple support representative.
Since the launch of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, some users have reported issues with their device not charging properly on their existing Qi wireless chargers. Apple had tried to address this with iOS 14.2, which included a fix for an issue in which “devices could be prevented from charging wirelessly,” but the fix doesn’t appear to have resolved the issue for everyone.
The reader said to Apple, “What is the issue with the iPhone 12 Pro Max charging? One day it will charge wirelessly ok, the next day it won’t. After hard reboot, it will charge. On your Apple forums, 700 people have same issue.”
The representative responded by saying, “Ok, I do understand your concern We are working on this and it will be resolved in upcoming days.”
It’s unclear what exactly is causing the issues, but it is assumed that the magnetic components built into the iPhone 12 for MagSafe charging may be causing the problems.
