Has anyone here ever encountered updating your iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 16.0.2, USB-C type C Lightning Cable suddenly stopped working anymore though it still works on other iPhone devices. I need a solution through this. Thank you!

Hello mhike_meneses,


Great job testing your cable with other iPhones. What about the wall adapter? Or are you plugging your iPhone into a computer or a hub? If so, try with a wall adapter to isolate from the computer or hub.


Here are some steps to follow when you're not able to successfully charge your iPhone. Give them all a try, as this issue could be caused by several things:

If your device charges slowly or won’t charge
Follow these steps and try again after each:
1. Check your charging cable and USB adapter for signs of damage, like breakage or bent prongs. Don't use damaged accessories.

2. Use a wall power outlet and check for firm connections between your charging cable, USB wall adapter, and wall outlet or AC power cable, or try a different outlet. 
3. Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your device, then firmly plug your charging cable into your device. If the charging port is damaged, your device probably needs service.

4. Let your device charge for a half hour.
5. If your device is still unresponsive, force restart your device: 
• iPhone 8 or later and iPhone SE (2nd generation): Press and quickly release the volume up button. Press and quickly release the volume down button. Press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.
• iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPod touch (7th generation): Press and hold both the side (or top) button and the volume down button until the Apple logo appears. 
• iPhone 6s or earlier, iPhone SE (1st generation), and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier: Press and hold both the side (or top) button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears.
6. Let your device charge for another half hour.
7. If your device still won't power on or charge, take your device, charging cable, and charging adapter to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for evaluation. You can also contact Apple Support.
