I have noticed that my new iphone 11 pro won't charge with some lightning cables, but all of the cables and chargers work with my ipad and other iphones. Resetting doesn't help. If I plug in with the wrong cable it just never charges. Cables are all apple or certified.
iPhone 11 Pro
After ios 13.2.2 i am getting “accessory may not be supported” when i plug in some cables using a charger i’ve had for years. So I am now pretty sure Apple software is the problem, randomly deciding whether or not to accept a lightning cable including some apple provided cables. the iphone 11 pro seems most sensitive to this. Another apple software problem!

iOS 13 is more strict than previous versions as to what USB cables it permits. I have quite a few such cables that continue to work just fine with my family's iPhone 6es but not with our newer phones and iPads.
If you use a USB cable that still has Apple's blessing, your iPhone 11 Pro will charge just fine, albeit at a slower pace, with your iPad's power supply. You'll have to triage your cable collection to see which ones will be accepted by your new phone. Good luck.
True but it should also charge from any iphone charger with the usb a lightning cable. But some cables work and some don't. All cables appear to be the same... and charge other devices.
all of my cables are apple or mfi certified, though some are quite old. This is the first i’ve heard of cable issues in ios 13. My ipad 6 and iphone se both charge from the cables that wont charge the 11.
Re. "If you use a USB cable that still has Apple's blessing, your iPhone 11 Pro will charge just fine" – But why would an actual Apple Lighting cable not still have Apple's blessing?
I have the same problem maddogxx reported—with an original Apple 6-ft cable. It doesn't give a message; just nothing happens. The cable still works fine to charge my iPad, my Airpods case, etc.
This is an actual Apple cable, mind you, not just an Apple-certified one.
Strange.
I share your pain. I also have a collection of cables, most of which are genuine but some of which (like my beloved 3m cables) are of unknown provenance. I have had all of my aftermarket 3m cables silently rejected by iOS 13, while continuing to work perfectly with devices that are still running iOS 12. One of my genuine Apple cables was similarly rejected, and I plan to visit Apple when I have a chance to ask about it. My HDMI and VGA adapters are genuine and still work, though others here are complaining of genuine adapters failing.
The Lightning interface is a proprietary standard, which Apple licenses to parties that pay for the privilege. In exchange for the license fees, these companies are instructed in the tolerances and secret inner workings of the interface. Even so, some older cables and adapters fall out of tolerance over time or fail simply because of manufacturing variations. With iOS 13, Apple has significantly tightened the tolerance as to what interface devices can still work with our iPhones and iPads.
I plan to ask a Genius why my new-looking genuine cable has stopped working under iOS 13. I wonder how many other customers have already asked the same question.
Please post any responses you get from the genius bar. I am only having problems with my 11 pro. all cables work for other ios 13 devices, just not the 11 pro. my imac running high sierra is also having problems with the apple cable I’ve used for years. A new certified cable works fine.
Your iPhone 11 Pro comes with a USB-C to lightning cable and an 18W USB-C Power Adapter. These are different than older models use.
I would also note the same problem occurs getting my imac to connect with the phone via itunes. That is some canles that work with older devices don't work with the iphone 11. Worn cables?
Lightning cable charges ipad but not iphone 11 pro
