OK, so I'm late to the game. LOL, nothing new there.
Wi-Fi charging pad? How does *that* work?

Um,
Yes steve,
This has been so since late 2020
After apple advised that they wouldn't be supplying charging bricks with
phones any longer.
You don't have to use the Usb-C to lightening cable,
You can use an older lightening to usb-a and associated charging brick it just
wont charge as quickly.
Or purchase a magsafe charger for your iPhone 12, or even wifi charging pad.

Subject: iPhone 12 Pro Max Unboxing Warning
The stock package for an iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with a charging cable, but no
charger. This is the first phone I've had, starting with the venerable 4S,
where no little charger cube was hiding ina nook or cranny in the main iPhone
box. What you do get is a charging cable, and thereby hangs another tale,
because you need to know that the end that's supposed to go into your little
charging cube wall wart that you don't get, that connector is not USB-A--it's
USB-C. So if you don't have any USB-C charger wall warts in the house, you're
going to be kiind-of stuck until you either get one or buy the accessory kit
from your phone store or provider that contains a case and the new wireless
MagSafe charging square. I got lucky--I didn't foresee this problem, but I did
want the wireless charging option plus the case plus the screen protection.
Oh yeah, no earbuds either.
The above aside, they've done a clever thing regarding installing the tempered
glass screen protector--you now get a plastic form that neatly fits over the
iPhone itself. What you do with it is, you turn it upside down and lay it on a
flat surface, oritent yourself with the tempered-glass screen protector so you
know which is the end with a notch cut out of it--that's the earpiece end, take
it out of its wrapping and sheathing, and lay it very gently adhesive side up
in the plastic form. Then, orient the phone itself in the same way as the
screen protector, remove its packaging covering, and lay it down into the form
on top of the adhesive backing of the screen protector. By doing this, the
screen protector is absolutely assured of being in perfect position on the
front side of the phone, and you don't get any fingerprints anywhere. The
slightest bit of oil from your fingers on the front side will diminish the
ability of the screen protector's adhesive side to stick to the phone's glass
face, and this new way of applying these rigid-glass protectors seems to be a
great thing, especially for blind people. I wish I'd've had this for the XS Max
last year. If I did, I probably wouldn't have put it on ever so slightly
crooked, and it might not have come off about five months later, also probably
due to my having touched the screen and polluting the surface with my body
fluids
(LOL) to orient it when putting it on.
