Multiple users have taken to internet forums to complain about the lack of compatibility between wireless chargers and their iPhone 14 Pro smartphones. Its large camera bump causes some devices to not charge outright, while others don't fit as well as older devices.

Hi

Ever since I purchased the new iPhone14 Pro,I Have noticed just as this article has mentioned that because of the new phones (camera assembly) sticking out farther than pass iPhone cameras models have, has caused most (wireless QI charging stands) to improperly or just fail to charge the phone due to this design update. 

I have personally tested over 10 wireless QI chargers that I either purchased through Amazon or retail websites, all with about the same results, poor to intermittent charging at best, and as a result had to return all these chargers for a full refund.

Now from a technical stand point, I noticed that other than switching completely to Apple's (mag-safe) phone chargers, which in my opinion was not an option, due to the fact that sometimes people like having a choice of other QI wireless chargers as well as mag-safe models.

So what all the 3rd party IQ charger manufactures need to do when creating a new QI compatible stand for iPhone 14 Pro and Max, is to mold a stand with a height thats is below where the iPhone 14 Pro or Max (square lens assembly starts), in this way the 2-internal charging coils in the stand can still cover the phones back "charging area" for both horizontal or Vertical charging without this square lens assembly getting in the way, but this design upgrade is most important for vertical position of the wireless charging, because thats where lowering the stands height design mattered the most, because thats where this lens assembly gets in the way of the back of the phone from laying flat with the charging plate for proper charging.

In my opinion even though I'm not a manufacture, I still believe it won't be to much work to re-tool these QI charging stands, and as a side note, this hopeful resigned of these stands will still work with older iPhone models, since the charging coils are still in the proper position for charging, "meaning below that the charging coils sit below any legacy  iPhone's lens assembly as well".
