Dec. 5, 2020

Following a litany of complaints from users, Apple has reportedly acknowledged that someiPhone 12models have problems with wireless charging using Qi-certified chargers. The company also announced that it will soon roll out a software update to fix the issue. That’s according to9to5Mac, whichclaimsthat Apple Support has confirmed to some users that the company is aware of the problem and is already working on a patch to resolve it.

As per an official Apple Support executive quoted in the report, the company is“working on this and it will be resolved in upcoming days”. When pressed further by the frustrated user, the unidentified Apple employee replied:“… we have been going through the issues which customers are facing … It will be resolved soon.”There’s no word on the update timeline, but it’s likely to happen sooner rather than later.

The latest development comes weeks after many iPhone 12-series users started complaining about the wireless charging issue, with some claiming that the devices charge just fine on Qi-certified chargers the first few times, but stop charging randomly after that. The problem is apparently widespread and, affects a large number ofcharging pads, docks, and stands. Now that Apple is working on the problem, let’s hope that it is resolved sooner rather than later.
