❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does PULL-A grade mean and why is it the best quality?
PULL-A grade represents the highest quality tier for pulled parts in the repair industry. These components are carefully extracted from working iPhone 15 Pro Max devices that may have been traded in, refurbished, or had other unrelated issues. The A designation indicates the part has passed rigorous functionality testing for all features including wireless charging, NFC communication, flash operation, and button connectivity. PULL-A parts also meet cosmetic quality standards with minimal to no visible wear. Compared to aftermarket alternatives, PULL-A parts offer original Apple component quality with proven reliability. For professional repair shops, PULL-A grade provides the best balance of cost savings versus genuine Apple parts while maintaining the quality customers expect. Each part is individually tested before shipping to ensure full functionality.
What functions does this wireless charging coil assembly include?
This is a complete assembly that integrates multiple critical iPhone 15 Pro Max functions into one replaceable unit. The wireless charging coil provides Qi-compatible wireless charging functionality allowing the phone to charge on any standard wireless charging pad. The MagSafe magnetic ring enables proper alignment with MagSafe chargers and accessories including cases, wallets, and battery packs. The integrated NFC chip handles Apple Pay contactless payments, Express Transit, AirPods automatic pairing, AirTag functionality, and other near-field communication features. The flash flex cable controls the camera flash LED, True Tone flash functionality, and connects to volume and power button assemblies. Replacing this single assembly restores all these functions simultaneously, making it an efficient repair for devices with multiple related issues.
Why is professional installation required for this part?
The wireless charging coil assembly is located deep within the iPhone 15 Pro Max requiring complete disassembly to access. This involves removing the display, disconnecting the battery, removing the logic board, and carefully extracting the existing assembly from its adhesive mounting. The repair requires specialized tools including pentalobe and tri-point screwdrivers, precision spudgers, suction cups, heat application for adhesive softening, and anti-static equipment to prevent logic board damage. Installation time typically ranges from one to two hours for experienced technicians. Improper installation techniques can damage the logic board, display cables, battery, or other components resulting in additional repair costs. The complexity and risk level make this repair unsuitable for DIY attempts and we strongly recommend professional installation by certified technicians.
What symptoms indicate the wireless charging coil needs replacement?
Several symptoms can indicate a faulty wireless charging coil assembly. Wireless charging not working at all or charging intermittently even with different chargers suggests coil damage. MagSafe accessories not attaching properly or the magnetic connection feeling weak indicates magnet ring issues. Apple Pay or other NFC functions failing to work, or working inconsistently, points to NFC chip problems. Camera flash not firing, firing with wrong color temperature, or the flashlight function not working indicates flash flex cable issues. Volume buttons or the Action button not responding can also be related to this assembly. Physical damage from drops, water exposure, or previous repairs can cause these failures. If your iPhone 15 Pro Max exhibits any combination of these symptoms, the wireless charging coil assembly is a likely culprit.
What tools are needed to install this part?
Professional installation of the iPhone 15 Pro Max wireless charging coil assembly requires a comprehensive toolkit. Essential tools include a pentalobe P2 screwdriver for external screws, tri-point Y000 screwdriver for internal components, Phillips PH000 screwdriver, plastic spudger tools and opening picks for prying without damage, suction cup for display removal, precision tweezers for small components and flex cables, heat gun or heated mat to soften adhesive (around 70 to 80 degrees Celsius), isopropyl alcohol for adhesive cleaning, and anti-static wrist strap to prevent ESD damage to the logic board. Additional helpful tools include a magnetic project mat to organize screws, magnification equipment for precision work, and replacement adhesive strips for reassembly. Given the tool investment and skill requirements, most repairs are performed by professional technicians.
Is this part compatible with all iPhone 15 Pro Max variants?
Yes, this wireless charging coil assembly is compatible with all iPhone 15 Pro Max model variants worldwide. This includes model A2849 sold in the United States, A3105 for Canada, A3106 for mainland China, and A3108 for international markets including Australia. The iPhone 15 Pro Max uses the same internal wireless charging and NFC assembly across all regional variants regardless of storage capacity or color. Before purchasing, verify you have an iPhone 15 Pro Max specifically, not the standard iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, or iPhone 15 Pro which use different sized assemblies. Check your model number in Settings then General then About then Model Number. The model identifier will show one of the compatible numbers listed.

How is this part tested before shipping?
Every PULL-A grade wireless charging coil assembly undergoes comprehensive functionality testing before shipping. Our testing process verifies wireless charging functionality using calibrated Qi charging equipment to confirm proper power transfer and efficiency. NFC chip testing confirms Apple Pay functionality, AirPods pairing capability, and general near-field communication performance. Flash flex cable testing verifies camera flash operation including True Tone functionality and proper LED brightness. Button connectivity is tested to ensure volume controls and Action button signals are properly transmitted. MagSafe magnet strength is measured to confirm proper accessory attachment. Visual inspection checks for any physical damage, corrosion, or wear that could affect reliability. Only parts that pass all test criteria receive the PULL-A grade designation. Failed or marginal parts are rejected to ensure consistent quality for professional repairs.
What does the 12-month warranty cover?
Our 12-month warranty covers manufacturing and functionality defects in the wireless charging coil assembly. Covered issues include failure of wireless charging functionality, NFC chip failures affecting Apple Pay or accessory pairing, flash flex cable failures affecting camera flash or button operation, and MagSafe magnet demagnetization. The warranty begins from date of purchase and covers the part itself not installation labor. To make a warranty claim you must provide proof of purchase, documentation of the issue, and confirm the part was installed by a qualified technician. The warranty does not cover physical damage from drops or impacts, liquid damage, damage from improper installation, or normal wear. For professional installers we recommend testing the part before final device assembly to identify any issues within the immediate return window.
