There’s no magic available here that will solve this.


Not with a discharged device.


No Apple devices support receiving remote power and recharging at the distances involved here. Qi needs close contact.


You’re going to have to look for your iPhone the old-fashioned way. Manually.


Having gone through this with some other folks, order a lime green or fluorescent orange case. Something more visible. And maybe consider a Bluetooth tracker, though—again, having gone through similar before—the tracker itself is another thing that can (seemingly will?) get lost.
