Charging Issues on New iPad mini 6

After I had briefly charged my iPhone 8 from my new iPad mini 6 using a lightning to USB C cord my new iPad has been unable to charge. When I plug my iPad into a charger, there is no response. The only thing that does happen is if I plug my iPad into my Mac, it will charge my Mac from the iPad's power source. Any help would be much appreciated!

Your initial post indicated a charging issue - as opposed to experiencing difficulties with performing a system software uodate.


You should note that for your iPad to install an available update, its battery must be charged to at least 50% capacity - and/or be connected to its Power Adapter. Similarly, the iPad can only be updated over a standard WiFi (not a hotspot) connection - or be updated by a PC or Mac using iTunes or Finder - over a USB connection.
