JAKARTA - Some users reported that their NFC chip on the iPhone 15 had problems after using wireless charging in a BMW car. But until now, Apple has not responded to the complaint.

However, this situation has changed as MacRumors reported this week that Apple's internal memos to third-party repair providers stated that a software update to be released later this year should prevent a "small number" of wireless chargers in the car from "while" disabling the NFC iPhone 15 chip.

Apple reportedly says that until a repair update is available, anyone who experiences this problem should not use wireless chargers in their cars. Users have complained that BMW wireless chargers damaged Apple Pay and BMW's digital key feature in posts on Reddit, Apple's Support community, and MacRumors forums themselves.

BMW appears to have acknowledged the issue earlier this month, when the BMW UK X account responded to complaints saying the company was working with Apple to investigate the matter. There is no easy way to know which models are affected.

For now, if you have a BMW or Toyota Supra with a wireless charger, it's probably best to avoid it for a while until this problem is fixed.
