Warning: BMW Wireless Charging May Break iPhone 15's Apple Pay Chip::If you have an iPhone 15 and drive a BMW, it might be best to avoid charging the device with the vehicle's wireless charging pad for now. Over...

You don't have to say "over" at the end when you're writing things out.

Someone help me, my overpriced and non-unique status symbols are fighting!

How would they wireless charge when it's being held in their hand? Only explanation for not using a turn signal.

Nah they just can’t be bothered to pay for BMW’s add-on Turn Signal Subscription. For only $5000 per year, any BMW owner can get access to up to 50 blinks per month.

Is the blinks counting each instance of turning on the indicators or the blinks themselves? If it's the latter BMW drivers might only have enough blinking quota for a single turn sitting at a red.

(That’s the joke.)

Eh, the joke works both ways as 50 turns is still probably only a day's worth. I just wanted to be fun and add a bit of substance since you (probably intentionally) was vague on the specifics.

I think they’ve been doing this the whole time, and that’s why BMW drivers never signal,brake at the last second, and roll though lights,,,?

Nah they just forgot to refill the blinker fluid again

Ha ha, joke's on them. It's the only wireless charger I've found that doesn't work with my case on so I never use it!

BMW continues the tradition of being an asshole

Bmw wireless charging: exists
New iPhone: breaks

Must be bmw's fault, flawless logic.

If it only affects iPhone 15, it could as well be an Apple issue

As someone who owns a Supra, good thing I don't have an iPhone.
