15.6.1 iOS killed my iPhone 6s - won’t charge or turn back on. Tried OE cable and cube x 2, outlets x 3, cell phone ER (no iPhone store within 150 miles), purchased new SE but can’t use old phone to transfer info or clear. update to IOS 15.6.1 killed my 6s. Got it almost back with a reset but it quit charging. Tried all the suggested fixes except reset again because it won’t charge or start up again. Bought a new SE but will not be able to transfer data easily since old phone won’t charge. It was pretending to charge but battery % never went up - only down.

iPhone 13 Pro Max just shut down while it was plugged into the charger Just updated iOS this week and my iPhone 13 Pro Max just shut down while it was plugged into the charger. Have tried multiple times to do a hard restart, volume up, volume down, and hold the side button, with no success. iOS failure? Complete black screen, have tried multiple chargers and connecting to iTunes with no luck. Does anyone else have this problem? If I choose to mail it in for repair it says I have to turn off the find my phone option or the repair will be invalid. So what options do I have?

Sudden Black Screen and Charging Issue After Shutdown on iPhone 16 Pro: Is It a Hardware or Software Bug? About 24 days into using my iPhone 16 Pro with only 5 battery cycles, I encountered a serious issue: After I manually shut down the device at a battery of 82%, it never turned back on despite trying all known methods to power it up. I attempted all known force restart methods (volume up → volume down → hold power), but nothing worked. authorized Apple support team in my country couldn't either, so they connected it to their system and managed to reboot it, it passed all diagnostics showed no hardware or software issues. However, after the reboot that the technicians did, a new problem appeared: the phone would no longer charge via the cable — only wireless charging worked. The Apple support team eventually resorted to a factory reset as a last step, which did resolve the issue. No hardware was replaced, but no explanation was given for either the black screen or the charging bug. One technician mentioned that several other users had come in with the same issue on iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models that same day. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, do we know what the root cause might be? Is this likely to be a hardware issue with the iPhone 16 Pro, or a bug in the iOS system? Also, is there any way to guarantee that it won’t happen again? Answers to some common questions others might ask: iOS Version: The issue occurred while running iOS 18.4.1. Always-On Display: I have never enabled the Always-On Display feature. Physical Condition: The phone had no drops, no physical damage, no water exposure, and was not charging at the time the issue occurred. Storage: My storage was not full or even close to full, so it’s unlikely the issue was related to memory overload. Apple Diagnostics: Authorized Apple technicians ran a full diagnostic and found no hardware or software faults. They couldn’t identify a cause, but they did mention that several other users came in with the exact same issue on the same day. Why I turned it off: I have a habit of switching off my phone if I’m not using it for over an hour. I wasn’t using it heavily before that and didn’t experience any glitches or issues leading up to it. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Can you verify your software is up to date...

Update your iDevice - The current stable release of iOS including bug fixes, is iOS 16.0.2

Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

if you are stuck see—

If your iPhone won't turn on or is frozen / stuck

Thanks. It happened when I installed the iOS 16.0.2. Just weird, I’ve never had one shut down completely with an update…at least not that I can recall. That”attempting to retrieve data” was alarming but it all worked and everything seems to have come back to the phone.
