Wireless charging in BMW vehicles will cause the iPhone 15 series NFC to be disabled, and Apple has promised to fix it.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens and soft media users for 1520111 clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Oct. 26 (Xinhua)-- Apple today admitted that there is a wireless charging problem with BMW cars in the iPhone 15 series and promised to provide a fix later this year. This problem can cause the iPhone 15 series to be disabled when charging with wireless chargers built into some of the latest BMW and Toyota Supra models.

Apple told its authorized service provider in an internal memo that the problem affected only a "few" wireless chargers, not all BMW and Toyota Supra models. The memo did not provide the specific cause of the problem.

In iPhone, NFC chips provide support for functions such as Apple Pay and digital car keys. Affected users may receive an error message that "cannot set Apple Pay" in the wallet app, even if they have set up Apple Pay. Apple said the issue would be resolved in a software update later this year. Considering that the memo was issued within hours of today's release of iOS 17.1, it seems that subsequent updates, such as iOS 17.1.1 or iOS 17.2, are needed. In the meantime, Apple advised affected users to stop using in-car wireless charging.

CTOnews.com noted that affected users indicated that iPhone would enter data recovery mode and display a white screen, and that after the device was rebooted, the NFC chip would no longer work properly. Users can't solve the problem on their own, so they have to go to the Apple Store or Apple's authorized service provider for repairs.
