Currently having difficulty with charging my mobile on the wireless charging plate and suspect this is because I have a protective cover on the back of the phone. All well and good but receiving a recurring message across the whole centre screen indicating that "charging has been interrupted" is a little annoying. Am wondering, if the charging plate had been repositioned flat on the centre console, would this have have made a difference? In the meantime I guess I will have to revert to charge-by-wire mode - boohoo!

I experienced issues as well, but am using an iPhone 12 mini. It seems to be too small, I keep getting that message as well.

Some protective covers can cause interference to the wireless charging. I had one that just gave no joy on any wireless charging pad, changed it and all good. I take it you have tried it without a case?

We've had the same experience and put it down to being in a case.

It’s because the latest iPhones are not really compatible with the charging plate as Apple moved the wireless charging area in the phone.

It’s annoying but they do eventually charge. Mine gets very hot though.

Has anyone found a way round this? I just got a new iPhone 12 last week and the recurring message to say charging has been terminated is driving me to distraction! I've tried it with and without a case. I've resorted to laying my phone in vertically instead of horizontally along the charging plate and plugging it into a cable but it's not ideal!

Not sure the iPhone 12 issue has been resolved.
I think Stoopo had discussions on the Apple site, hopefully he'll be along to give you a definitive answer.

Nope it’s not resolved. Sometimes mine behaves for ages then it starts playing up.

I’ve experimented with different cases and my current one appears the best. It cost £2.99.

I've got an Iphone 12 pro, Tbh not even sure where to position the phone it if it is meant to work, nothing seems to happen from how I've tried it,

Is the wireless charger actually working on the current ST-Line models. Or has it been discontinued and is just another storage space in the console?
