Slow wireless charging after iOS 15 update

I found myself searching for this on Google and here i am. Since the iOS 15 my phone has been charging ultra slow. I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max. Basically what happens is my phone charges normally, for about an hour and a half from 1% to 90%. But from 90% to 100% it takes roughly an hour for each percent. At first i thought it was some kind of visual bug and i restarted my phone several times but nothing. It literally takes an hour to increase the percentage with 1 step.

On the contrary, ever since the update, my battery has reached new heights. With minimal usage - just phone calls and Spotify in the background - my battery lasts between 12 and 15 hours on 100%, i kid you not. But as soon as i start using some apps like YouTube and Myfitnesspal, it suddenly drops to about 90% after an hour of usage.

So love it or hate it, this update was good.

P.S. Glad its not a hardware issue, probably its some software bug that will be fixed in the next update.

I have an iPhone SE 2020 with the Apple MagSafe charger. I put it on the charger last night at about 8:00 p.m., and when I woke up this morning at 5:30, it was only at 56%. Previous to this, it had always charged to 100%. My phone does have an Otterbox case on it, but it's never been an issue before. I'm thinking this is a software (iOS) issue rather than hardware.

I bought an iphone 11 from Verizon along with a wireless charging pad about four months ago. It worked well enough meaning it charged overnight successfully. Suddenly, however, it now charges exceedingly slowly, sometimes not reaching full charge at all and often reaching only fifty percent after 8 hours.

My phone and Apple charging cord were fine before the update. It’s not the cord or debris or anything other than an Apple related issue.

Same problem here: iPhone X and mophie 409903633 charger. Worked fine just before upgrading iOS. A similar problem occurred with a previous iOS big-number update.

Updated to 15.1...still having wireless charging problems. Super sensitive to placement, some wireless chargers that worked fine before don't work anymore. On 2 x XR and 2 x 13 phones

Ecactly the same problem with iPhone SE 2020. Since update to iOS15 wireless charging does not work properly. No problems before the update. Still does not work with iOS 15.1 PLEASE FIX THAT

No, the MagSafe charger is USB-C, so I had to buy an Apple USB-C adaptor, which is 20W.

My phone and Apple charging cord were fine before the update. It’s not the cord or debris or anything other than an Apple related issue. It needs to be fixed. Suggesting I put my phone on airplane mode is ludicrous, as well as, a huge inconvenience. Shame on Apple for blaming the victim for their incompetence.

Hi, I use an IPhone 11 Pro and ever since I downloaded IOS 15, charging my phone takes forever! It has been more than 6 hours now and my phone hasn’t charged fully and keeps decreasing and increasing in charge! I’m using the original charger that came with the phone and had no issues at all! Could you please look into resolving this issue asap issue.

I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and a company iPhone SE both now on latest version of iOS 15 and now both phones not wirelessly charging properly. Have multiple wireless chargers and not working on any. Works fine when plugged into a charging lead.

Same problem - very odd charging behavior (very sensitive to position, and no matter what no full charge anymore overnight).

Anyone know what the problem is? I use a no name brand charger, but until right around the last update everything was normal, in fact, my XSmax would charge fully in about 2 h. No more....

Hi

I have the same issue

my Xs Max phone barely reaches 68% charge through a wireless charger.

there is no issue with the wired charging mechanism.

The issue started post IOS 15 update

Regards

I’ve had the same issue since updated to iOS 15. Ever since, my phone struggles to charge through any wireless device and won’t hold charge. No issues whatsoever prior to updating.
