Iphone 15 Max Pro. Wireless Charging

[ABitterman]

Have a 2023 450+ and like a lot of people can’t use the wireless charging with my Iphone 12 Pro Max. Wondered if things have improved with the latest Iphone?

I doubt it, both are MagSafe so the coils are in the same place on the 12 Pro Max and the 15 Pro Max so will probably be the same. If anything with the camera bump being larger, which lifts the phone further away from the charging pad, it could be worse.

I just keep a short usb a to usb c cable plugged in....easy and quicker to charge.....and readies Android Auto etc

Cheers guys, might save myself a few quid and keep my old Iphone. Do like the idea of wireless charging, seems such a waste and disappointing that they didn’t try one of the best selling phones on their wireless charger!!

No issue with my Iphone 13 pro max with case

My Iphone 14 Pro Max works just fine and it's in a case too

They work, just not efficiently - it will heat your phone more than if should which isn't good for its Battery.

My Iphone 14 Pro Max in the clear case also works fine, in fact better than expected. Not sure how much juice goes into the phone though. I was not sure that the charging pad would hold the phone in place but it seems to do a good job as well.

Loved my wireless charger and wireless ACP until, one long journey the phone shut down due to heat and lost Waze, it was so hot to the touch it was uncomfortable to hold. Had to pull into a layby program the in car NAV to continue my trip.

I have since reverted to the ancient cable, its faster charging, no lag in data transfer, and the phone stays well within operating temperature, thus saving a little on Battery degradation.

Iphone 15 Plus charges fine on wireless pad with 450h+ and that's while inside bulky Otterbox Defender case.

My Iphone 15 Plus in an apple case charges on the pad.. although it’s very slow.
