Hi to everybody,

I am Manu ... Leaving in Paris - France.
I am new on this blog ... Hope can find help from one of you.

Let me expose my issue:
I have a brand new iPhone 12 Pro Max and I use it everywhere ... like all of us!
Meaning at home, on the car, in the office and so on.
Using it on the car with Apple CarPlay I need to connect it to USB plug in my car to have this function wotking.
To avoid connecting/disconnecting the lightning cable I have decided to buy a magnetic cable with one in the car and one at home.
Very easy to connect while driving and disconnect.
A friend of mine have this for its Samsung and he is very happy.

Well, I spend couple of hours on internet and I found the Baseus cable. I like Baseus brand and have already multiple of gadgets for my MacBook Pro, iPhone, etc.
Its very good products with nice quality and reliable.

D-Day I receive my 2 cable ... I intriduce immediatle the lighning connector on my iPhone and plug the cable on my Mac and on my car.
Test was perfect. Charging and data at the top.

Two days after I took my car and connect the magnetic cable to the phone and ... nothing !!!
I try couple of times, disconnecting and reconnecting and ... always the same result ... No charge and no sync !

Try to switch off and on the phone and it was working again.

But after a couple of days I connect cable and same issue ☹️

Try to make some tests and understood that just taking out the connector from the phone and putting it again was enough ... like if something inside the phone was not "agree" for the connector to be present always !?

I have tried with the cable of my friend ... Aviwis (chinease but also good quality). Fortunately he receive the cable with lightning, Usb C and micro Usb magnet connector.
Everything was working fine during one or two days and same problem ... Meaning that it is not the cable but the phone.
Unfortunately I don't have any other iphone to check.
Tried also to google the problem but no result!

Did anybody face this issue?
Any solution?

HELP more than appreciated !!! 🙏

Thanks

Just happened to me yesterday. Im a huge fan of Magnetic cables from WSKEN. Bought the Lightning adaptor for my 12 Pro Max and it works the FIRST time i plugged it in… and stopped working not long after… im guessing it isnt MFI certified. Wasted USD$3 🤣 And i just found out about Volta. But it costs quite a lot(AUD$31). I have emailed them about MFI certification.

-Update-
After looking at Volta's Instagram i decided myself that it is Mifi certified,and decided to just buy them.
i have ordered the Volta 2.0 + 2 x Lightning Tips and Volta Spark + 1 Lightning Tip.
