Then, on October 25, 2023, Apple issued a notice to authorized service providers that said, ``iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max may not be compatible with a small number of wireless charging pads built into certain BMW and Supra models.'' Charging may temporarily disable your device's NFC functionality.' Furthermore, Apple has revealed that this issue will be fixed in a software update in late 2023, and advises users, ``Please do not use the wireless charging pad in your car until the software update.''

MacRumors, a foreign media outlet that reported on this issue, said, ``This information was announced a few hours after iOS 17.1 was released, so this issue will not be resolved until iOS 17.1.1 or iOS 17.2, which is scheduled to be released in the future. I'm guessing.

In addition, as a workaround for this issue, MacRumors suggests that you can restart the NFC chip at an Apple Store or an Apple authorized service provider using Apple Service Toolkit 2, or if the problem persists, you can restart your device.
