just bought a new iPhone SE.

During wireless charging, it always stops at 67%

It doesn't matter which wireless charger that I tried. I have 3 different wireless chargers(Moshi, Anker and Samsung) and all are Qi-compatible. 7.5w or more, which I believe is the max for iPhone wireless charging?

Using a contactless thermometer, I monitor the temperatures on the back of the phone and on the charger when it stops at 67% and it's never more than 107 degrees. (room temperature 78)

However, if I plug in the lightning cable, then the phone will continue from 68% to 100 % without issues.

Since none of those 3 different chargers has any problems charging my other phones(Pixel 3 XL and iPhone XS Max), is it possible that the new iPhone SE has faulty wireless charging circuity inside?

Thanks!
 
You’ve tried 3 different wireless chargers and still wondering if the iPhone has a fault? 🤨

I just thought that the chargers probably didn't like the new phone or something. :)

well... it's a brand new phone from Apple's online store... if it indeed was some kind of defect, it'll be the first time in my life that I've encountered a defect from Apple products that I've purchased. (dating all the way back to 1981 when I got the Apple II)
 
I have an Iphone se 2020 and I wirelessly charge it regularly. It always gets to 100%.

It is definitely possible that there is an issue with your Iphone SE.

I know for a fact that Iphone SE 2020, Siri hands free does not work 100%. Currently working with Apple to resolve this issue.

What IOS version do you have?

How long have you left the phone on the charger?
