iOS 14: No longer charging

My IPhone 7 wont charge either. I have to do a hard reboot, or turn it off and on multiple times in order to get it to charge. The charging indicator will go on but the percentage will just stay the same or go down.

How do you release a major update that breaks phone charging? What an epic failure

I’m guessing the problem with the charging that I’m having must be related to the last couple of 14 updates. I don’t have a charging problem like a lot of others but what I have noticed is if I get in my Toyota I start the car I plugged in my phone the car does not recognize it you actually have to shut the car off open the door shut the door leave the phone plugged in and start the car and it works fine I hope there’s another update coming out to fix this

Continuing to have the same problem. Had my case escalated and they took logs of my phone. Also advised to install the latest update 14.0.1 which looks to have made things worse. Previously I could turn my phone off or do a hard reboot and it would charge. That doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Possible step toward a solution:

I powered down my iPad Air and charged it overnight. When I powered up the device in the morning it was at 100%. I am not yet clear whether the device will now charge while powered on. Will report back. Here's a photo of what charging while powered on has been like since the update.

Yeah I’ve had the 14.1 update for a couple of days now and like I said although at home there’s no issue it’s just that stupid little quirk in the car where you cannot hot plug it you have to plug everything in then start the car just strange and then sometimes even if you do that it’ll drop the phone connection then you have to shut the car off open the doors shut the doors start the car again to get your connection back it’s a pain in the neck there’s something wrong I just don’t get it maybe they’re trying to sell Me the latest phone because my 8+ is fine and I don’t wanna upgrade and get another contract going LOL

Same happened with iPhone 7+ , first I'm having problem with the camera and anything that needs voice input including WhatsApp voice note , Siri , recording and phone calls in which I won't be able to hear anything , and they won't hear my voice either . Moreover , though I don't have any hardware problem I have a problem with charging my phone as well . This is really irritating and needs to be fixed ASAP !!

I’m having the same issue that started a day or so ago after I updated to 14.1. My 11 pro will only charge with the usb-c cable, all usb-a cables are rendered useless and my lightning port EarPods are no longer recognized by my 11 pro. Super annoying!

I have the same issue. Iphone 7+. Updated to 14.1 and now won't charge on USB. It shows that it is recognised when plugged in but the battery percentage does not increase and continue to drain battery. Only works when plugged in directly to the socket but not when charging from a PC.

WTF 🤬 Is Apple so busy working in the background trying to get a solution for this that they can’t even respond do they even look at this forum as anybody you know try to reach out to Apple or been in a store and complained about it where they could get to corporate I haven’t checked today but I’m wondering if the update is out there

I can’t charge my $1000 phone after the update. Are you kidding me? It’s now worth less than a concrete brick. At least if I threw a brick at someone it would hurt them. Come on apple this is ridiculous

Took my phone to Apple repair and it’s totally screwed . Only happened since 14.1 , now they said that I used a non Apple charger , which I may have but i usually use an Apple charger.

so that it then , new phone, no offer of a discount.

Thanks Apple , I am now a Samsung phone user .

Where? I've searched on "iPhone not charging iOS14" and all I find is a few threads on theses Apple Discussions, some beta users on Reddit and a bunch of generic "iPhone not charging" fixes. Not one of the tech publications has any mention of charging problems after updating to iOS14. I think it's largely unknown.

This list of iOS14.2 fixes makes zero mention of it. https://screenrant.com/iphone-update-ios-14-2-bug-fixes/

Plus, there's nothing on YouTube.

Apple doesn't want unhappy/angry users. Apple has always gone out of its way to keep me happy. Really, I think if Tim Cook read this thread, he'd be mortified. Someone needs to tell him.

I think Apple knows. I had a support ticket that was created and i probably contacted apple 5 or 6 times. I had to push hard to finally get it escalated. At that point a tech remoted into my phone and DL diagnostic logs for there engineers.

They know

I don't think Tim cook and his billions care. Between this disaster of an update, an well established history of bug ridden IOS updates and Apple not allowing Nvidia to release drivers for my Macbook pro I'm pretty disgusted with apple.

Thanks for the link.

"And it's not just iPhone issues. The iPad platform -- a platform that Apple promotes as a replacement for laptops -- is also plagued with similar issues (and more, such as charging problems)."

That's the only occurrence of "charge" or "charging" on that whole page.

And there's no mention at all on their iOS 14.0.1 update page. https://www.zdnet.com/article/ios-14-0-1-the-battery-and-connectivity-woes-continue/
