iPhone 12 Pro Max wireless charging
I have a 2020 BMW M340 with wireless phone charging. Depending where I place the iPhone 12 Max on the pad the blue indicator light changes to red after a few seconds and the iphone stops charging. If I line the edge of the phone up with the indicator light it works fine but if the phone moves while driving the light changes to red. I have the same problem with my wife's 2019 330i charging pad.
Anyone else experience this? |

I will definitely check...i just got the 12 pro max, and laid it on the charger for a moment just to see if it would fit. I wonder if the MagSafe magnets are screwing with the wireless charger? Got to love technology!
On a side note, i have definitely noticed the Bluetooth and CarPlay connection is MUCH better than on my 11 pro max. |

The iPhone 12 wireless charging hardware has changed and some wireless charger pads are not compatible anymore -search for Qi charger and iPhone 12. |

Is there really a difference in carplay and bluetooth with the new iphone, what's the reasoning behind that, anyone has an idea? Because I was considering getting an 11 pro or 12 mini depending on the price drop in a few weeks?

I believe iOS 14.2 may help as one fix states 'Devices could be prevented from charging wirelessly'. Very pleased as was concerned.

It does this on my XS Max but when I move the phone slightly the light goes blue.
I need to take it in to be looked at really. Glad to see the 12 Pro Max fits in the charger as I have mine on order and wondered if it would fit so thanks for the posts.
