Not many RT owners on this forum...

Yes I recognise this, wireless charging doesn’t seem to work with IPhones. I always used a short charging cable.

 

I have a friend with a 2021 RT. I asked him and he said it works but its finicky with cases, placement and whatnot. To be fair, he rocks an iPhone 12 Pro Max and it barely fits. His solution was to install a Quadlock, vibe killer and wireless charging head. The cell phone box on the RT was not all that well thought out.

 

Come on, bmw designed it…has to be a good idea right

 

I used an IPhone 12 mini, it did fit in the box but the charging stopped after a few seconds. After about three hours the phone was dead.
My solution was to get rid of the R1250RT and go back to an eleven year old R1200R in combination with my Navigator 6. Much more reliable set-up 😜

 

I doubt the RT’s charger doesn’t work with the iPhone, the most popular phones around.

I’d bet it’s an alignment issue or the charger is defective. Once you start wirelessly charging, the phone needs to remain aligned with the charging coil, ideally perfectly centered for max charging efficiency. I’m not sure if the RT has some way of keeping the phone in place and always aligned, but I’d check that. If necessary play with some kind of spacers. Else go to the dealer and try another RT. I’m assuming your phone wirelessly charges normally with other chargers and isn’t itself the problem.

 

I have a 2022 R1250RT and am having exactly the same issue. I changed from an iPhone X last week to a 14pro. The X charged with no issues but the 14pro does not. I wonder if it is because the camera protrudes from the back of the phone and so therefore doesn't sit flush on the base of the charging area. Not sure what the solution is other than to use a cable, as suggested.

 

Mine worked on first ride and now doesn’t. iPhone 13 mini.

yes, I have a “normal” size I Phone 14. It fits into the compartment but the wireless charging is sketchy. I end up using the UPS port and a charging cable. The issue I’ve been having though is that I have to put the phone in so the charging port is on the outside and it bends the cable in a bad way, so I end up going through cables like they’re going out of style.

 

I had a Connected Ride Cradle for a while and it wirelessly charged my iPhone 11 Pro.

You doubt because you've never tried. I on the other hand tried everything that I could imagine and it still had the same effects of not charging and even worse, discharging faster if it was inside that compartment.

 

Same here, with iPhone13 Mini. Have you find a resolution?
