It's still VERY odd. Virtually every phone that has NFC and wireless charging have the 2 very close to each other. The charging coil is normally in the middle of the phone and the NFC a little above it.

If there was a real chance that the NFC could EASILY be affected by a wireless charger, the engineers would not place the 2 so close together.

Clearly something is up with Apple or BMW has got something else going on in there.

Hopefully we'll find out.

Not that I care, I use Android and it works properly.

Yes, it is very odd.

Which is why it’s newsworthy.
