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?

    Nope it works flawlessly for me. Maybe your NFC chip got damaged by wireless charging, there was a big problem with BMWs killing iPhone 15 NFCs.

    Anyway it’s covered by warranty, just get it to an Apple Store and it will be sorted for free.
