Since getting my IPhone 15 pro max, in store contactless payments have always been painfully slow, they eventually work, but they take up to 30 seconds of holding my phone around the scanner to get it to read it.
Since getting a magsafe case, this has just amplified the issue, unless I hold it millimetre perfect over the scanner, it just said to hold the device near the reader.
I have used a google pixel 6 pro and huawei p30 pro in that same store on those scanners and it’s instant on both and I can even be far away from the scanner.
There should be a setting to boost the strength of the NFC on this device or something, anything.
I’ve googled and found some other people had issues with their 15 Pros and pro maxes too, but has anyone found a workaround for it so it is more bareable?
I use my Apple Watch and it’s flawless. I’ve experienced this behavior using a device, most recently a Samsung S23 Ultra.
That’s what’s weird, I know someone with a normal S22 and normal S23 and both do contactless just fine, my pixel 6 pro was rapid with contactless payments as well
As already mentioned, sounds like something may be wrong with the NFC antenna in your phone. Better get it checked out.
