iPhone 13 pro max charging issue.

My new iPhone 13 pro max won’t charge with older lighting cables. The lighting cables I used are Apple TV cable and iPhone X cable and other off brand cable.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Not sure what an Apple TV cable is that can be used to charge iPhones. Please explain.

A cable that is used to charge an iPhone X should work on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. My recommendation is to stay away from lesser known off branded cables.


Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
