Iphone Charging/Cord Problems

My Iphone 13 Pro Max charge cords keep dying after a week of use. This has only happened in the last month with IOS 16.0-16.1. Is my battery or something else damaged on the phone? I hear there are charging problems with IOS 16 but is anyone else having this particular problem with quickly dying charge cords?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello forever-the-luddite,


Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand you're looking for assistance with your cables not working after using iOS 16 with your iPhone 13 Pro Max, correct?


If we understood that clearly, let's check into both the power adapter and cable to see if either of these may be related to what's happening. With the cable not charging your iPhone, are you using an Apple certified cable, or is this a third-party cable purchased elsewhere? For assistance with checking for a counterfeit or uncertified cable, take a look at this resource: Identify counterfeit or uncertified Lightning connector accessories - Apple Support


If you see that a new cable from Apple isn't lasting longer than a week, try using a different power adapter to see if the results change. If you notice a difference, check if the power adapter is capable of supporting the iPhone 13 Pro Max. For help with determining this, get started here: Power adapters for iPhone - Apple Support


We hope that's able to help isolate where the problem is occurring, and update us with additional details if you need further help. Confirm what cables and adapters you use, and share more details on what occurs with the cable to know it's no longer working.


Have a great day!

This started happening immediately after IOS 16.1 and possibly the update before. All of my chargers and cables were compatible with Iphone 13 and all of them—Apple cables, PureGear chargers/cords, Anker charger—are dead or dying, not from physical damage or twisting, just quickly losing the ability to charge. Now my phone constantly chimes in to charge and just a quickly loses the charge.
