An iOS bug makes the Qi charge in the iPhone 12 not work as it should

It is possible that many of you do not have the problem that is on the rise in the Apple support forums and it seems that the Qi charge in the iPhone 12 (all models) is failing more than it should. It seems that Once the equipment is loaded, it is difficult to start and once it does, it activates and stops charging intermittently.

This charging failure is known to Apple since complaints have increased as we say and as well explained in the middle iDownloadblog. It seems that this only happens with wireless charging and Qi certified chargers.

It does not seem a general problem but there are thousands of affected

In this case, it seems that it is a fairly general problem among users of the new iPhone 12 and there is no specific model that fails, they are all new models. This is due to a software problem and although it does not affect all users, there are a good number of complaints. These complaints in the support forums and in Apple's own stores already have official response from the Cupertino company that they would fix the bug in the next version of iOS. 

Users who have Qi certified chargers are affected by this charging issue and it does not appear to affect those using Apple's MagSafe charging dock. The failure is directly the intermittence of the charge when we place it on the base, it does not matter if it has a cover or not. Do you have problems in the wireless charging of your iPhone 12?

    Good morning,

    Just yesterday I was observing that failure, intermittent charging. I associated it with the iPhone 12 (hardware) and not with a software glitch.

    I use a Qi charger from the Yuanguo brand that was perfect for my iPhone X. Yesterday, after leaving my iPhone 12 pro on the base for a long time, I realized that it did not charge it (although the charging beam did come out) and that of the intermittence.

    Knowing that it is an iOS problem, I will keep the charger until future updates

    Exactly the same thing happens to me with the Apple Watch series 5. With the watch charger I do not fail, but with a wireless charging base that I buy, it charges, stops and starts again ...
