Have the same problem after iOS 14.2 on my NEW NEW NEW iPhone 12.


I charge my phone, work on it, then later the charging does not work no matter how many cables i use.

And it is the cable charging not wireless that they say iOS 14.2 tried to solve.

Only way to work around it is to restart the phone. After that it charges normally.

But wtf ! do i have to restart the phone every time i want to charge it ?

Has anyone found a solution for this? My solution was a wireless charger. Which, of course worked. There’s nothing wrong with the battery or charging port. It’s a software problem. I’ve updated as much as possible (iPhone 11). And still, nothing.


I swear dude, I love apple, but they’re going straight back to a reiteration of the 90’s. Except this time there’s no Steve Jobs to save them.

Yes just in the middle of a phone call and it restarts cutting off the person. False battery levels as well and if I turn off the optimised battery button it then restarts the phone after a couple of minutes and puts it back in again... plus all games freeze after playing for more than 5 mins and then phone restarts. Never makes the ping noise if used to when I plug phone into charge so I never know if it is charging... had tech look at it and battery 100 percent healthy! Hate this upgrade - do something Apple please!

My friend was having the same problem and he kept getting a message that “this device not supported” when he plugged in his iPhone. I didn’t get a message at all but my phone wouldn’t charge on anything that my Apple cord and brick. Then all of a sudden his started working couple days later, so I tried mine and it began to work also. It had to have been an Apple update of some kind to have fixed the problem.

Apple has released a list of bug fixes due to be included when iOS 14.3 is rolled out to the world this Monday December 14. This charging problem (which like many of you I’m also experiencing) doesn’t even get a mention. What the actual....

isn’t an Apple moderator able to escalate this to support based on the evidence of it being a widespread issue affecting multiple users?

Hi Stefanie did you have problems with your phone not charging properly and constantly restarting when you were online or playing games or even in the middle of a call when you updated to IOS 14.2? My phone is crazy now and too scared to update it ... have spent hours in the phone to Apple Support to no avail and spent money at tech shop here seeing if they can find the problem but no! It is the upgrade- not going to take this!

I have IOS 14.3, and now even apple cable will not charge from some battery power banks but will with some 3rd party cables.


Device not supported for some cables and combination of power banks.


Where it used to work fine.

I don't mind reduced power if it doesn't pass request, but a power bank should work if the USB provides power on + and -... come on, it is just a USB cable.


I am out in the field often and need POWER BANKS to work, where they worked before the last update.
