The iPhone 14 lineup was released this month with the Pro model emerging as the second-most popular model in the 2022 lineup. There are speculations that the iPhone 14 Pro’s wireless charging capability is hampered by the phone’s thick camera housing. Multiple complaints have been made by users in several forums to highlight the problem. They claim that there is a lack of compatibility between wireless chargers and the iPhone 14 Pro with the camera bump preventing some devices from charging the smartphone.

The large camera bump of the iPhone 14 Pro is a distinguishing external feature from its predecessors. The cameras come with greater power but users have reported uncontrollable shaking while using third-party apps. The bumpy camera setup could also be causing compatibility issues with wireless chargers.

An aggregation of user reports from multiple platforms on the issue has been made by Piunikaweb. It is difficult for most magnetic chargers to disengage the chassis and hold the phone in place for charging. There are no specifics on the brands of wireless chargers that are affected in this category. It is also important to note that no similar complaints for the iPhone 14 Pro Max or the iPhone 14 have been reported yet.

Help – is it me? Or is anyone else having trouble using the #iPhone 14 Pro on a standard Qi wireless charger? I don’t know if the camera bump is getting in the way or what, but it’s just not wanting to charge

Apple may also need to douse the fears by providing an explanation and possible solutions to the problem. There are also no indications of the demographics of the complaint whether they are emanating from a particular region or diverse regions.
