iPhone 15 owners are reporting wireless charging issues in General Motors (GM) vehicles, specifically Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick models. The issue appears to have occurred after users updated their devices to iOS 17.1.
iPhone 15s stop charging after 5 or 10 seconds after plugging into wireless charging in GM vehicles
Complaints on various platforms, including Reddit, Apple’s website, and GM-related forums, cite a serious issue where iPhones often stop charging after as little as “5 to 10 seconds.”
A user on the GM truck forum stated that his iPhone 15 Pro Max worked flawlessly on his 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 High Country until the iOS 17.1 update. After the update, charging was limited for a short time before suddenly stopping.
What he expected and what he found: He ordered an iPhone 15, but…
A person who ordered an iPhone from Apple’s website recently was faced with a surprising sight when he opened the box.
Similar problems have been reported from owners of different GM vehicles such as the 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV, 2023 Chevy Traverse, 2024 Buick Encore GX Avenir and Cadillac XT6.
Users have noticed that iPhones without the iOS 17.1 update or from previous models, such as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, continue to charge without problems in GM vehicles. This indicates that there is a relationship between the iOS update and the wireless charging problem.
GM has acknowledged the existence of the problem and is actively investigating it. GM spokesman Stu Fowle said: “We are aware of this issue and are investigating it. “There is nothing we can confirm at this point.” said. Meanwhile, Apple has not yet responded to questions about the problem.
We should also note that this wireless charging problem in GM vehicles is different from a previous problem that iPhone 15 users encountered in BMWs. The issue experienced at BMW was that wireless charging of the iPhone 15 temporarily disabled the NFC chips, affecting features such as Apple Pay and BMW’s digital key.
While iPhone users and GM vehicle owners wait for the issue to be resolved, this incident also shows us that the complexity of ensuring seamless compatibility between the software updates frequently released by device manufacturers and the various technology systems integrated into modern vehicles is increasing.
