iOS 14: No longer charging

I finally managed to charge it enough to do this turning Optimal Charging off and on trick and it worked! the battery still dies pretty fast if i unplug it compared to before the update but at least i can use it when plugged in now. Thanks!!

I have the same issue with an iPhone SE after upgrading to iOS 14.

I suspect it would get more attention if everybody reported it to Apple: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

The Apple tech did not charge me to diagnose, remove debris from lighting port and then verify communication between the iPad and a laptop that had software running to read serial numbers .

$69 for the battery and repair.... Plus shipping... And tax.... 🙄

UGH, same it got charge with a mf cheap local charger

The quick release of 14.1 and 14.2 tell you all you need to know. They know they have blown this badly. Its a real mess and there is a lot on the web about it.

Google iOS 14 disaster.

Just a question, I have the same problem, but I had changed the battery prior. I know that it was not an Apple battery. Because, after it was changed, the phone would not sHow "battery health"... But the phone worked and charged fine before the update.

I'm wondering if anyone else had the same problem, and it was because of the battery not being an "official" Apple battery?

So, in this case, your problem was your charger. But we don't have this problem. I have two Apple charger and one powerful charger with DP and 20W. Nothing works. The Lightning Port is clean and is 100% not defective.

Without a sim card in my iPhone I can turn it normal on. The battery is in a regular state (60% of charge) and I can charge it with any of my charger adapters.

I have exactly the same issue wit( my iPhone 7 , tried Apple support and now have an appointment to take it in today, I’ll keep you posted.

I think they are probably going to say it’s the batter , but it’s not a battery issue as it’s been holding charge for 2 days easily.

OK my phone is unrepairable, they said the mother board is faulty . Well it was working fine until I turned it off as it wasn’t charging .

I can only think that some how it over heated or it’s wiped the chip set , don’t really know but I’m very unhappy.

I need a phone so I today bought a replacement Samsung phone , I’ve had it with Apple .

changing to Android devices .

Yes. Appl has become really bad. I have exactly the same charging issue w ios14. Nor is it possible to easily download a video from iphone to mac nor to upgrade over mobile data. This phone really sucks these days.

I also don’t have a genuine battery and I’m getting same issues as everyone else! I can’t use the phone at all now, can’t take it to Apple either because the phone has previously been repaired. I have no phone thanks to an update!! What a joke.

You were lucky in that you do not seem to have had the software problem that clearly has come to most who updated to ios 14. I have long ago cleaned my lightning port - to no avail. On both my iphones. Let's hope that apple does snth about this fast.
