Problems with loading: Despite Apple’s proprietary MagSafe standard, iPhone 12 and 12 Pro can actually be charged wirelessly via Qi. However, this is apparently not always the case. In various forums and on Reddit, users are now reporting that charging processes with Qi-certified charging pads do not even start or stop once they have put on their brand new Apple smartphone.

Well-known manufacturers have a problem Among other things, devices from manufacturers who are actually producers were affected of Apple accessories are known and loved. These include Mophie, Nomad, Zen and Anker, but not all variants. A Nomad charging station, the Aira, initially failed, but was able to get back on the road with a firmware update. What exactly is going on here, for example whether the proprietary MagSafe profiles cause difficulties, is still unclear.

15 Watts of charging power, only the iPhone mini is out of line iPhone 12, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max can be charged with up to 15 watts via MagSafe if the charging puck is in a 20 – Watt power adapter like the one from Apple. The iPhone 12 mini packs only Watts of charging power via MagSafe. Qi devices should actually be able to charge the new iPhones with a maximum of 7.5 watts.

iOS 14. 2 might be helpful It is unclear whether the current problems possibly with iOS 14. 2 have been fixed. For the update full of bug fixes, Apple writes in its package insert that charging via Qi should work “more reliably”. Previously there should have been interruptions here. Whether this will fix all of the bugs with all loading mats remains to be seen. It is also unpleasant that there are by no means firmware updates for all Qi devices that can be imported for better compatibility with the iPhone 12 could. Here the ball is always in Apple’s field.
