Otterbox. Our iPhones charge just fine through basic Otterbox cases.

I've got the iPhone 14 Pro Max too! Currently rocking a thin, silicone case. Perfect fit for wireless charging pads – no need to hassle with taking it off. I found it on case-face.co.uk/, and it's been a game-changer for my charging routine. Happy charging!

Wireless charging pad is slow, useless and makes your phone hot enough to fry an egg. Something BMW just got wrong. There is always something they get wrong.

Personally, I found that any case on my iPhone 15 Pro Max was a poor fit for the charging pad…no matter how thin. Too bad the engineers did not figure in additional case size. I decided to buy a nice leather pouch to protect my phone, but easy way to pull from pouch and slide naked phone in tray.
Works like a charm! |

That said, I don’t use the pad. If I do need a charge, I have a USB-C setup for a super fast charge.

The last time I used the pad was for the BMW digital key feature. |

It’s cool and all, but it’s so much easier to keep the FOB in your pocket rather hold your phone to the door to unlock it or put it in the tray to start it. Wireless CarPlay definitely is a game changer. I’ve had wired in other cars. So nice to not plug in.
