My iPhone won't charge on my Macbook after updating to MacOS Ventura

The latest updates definitely do not fix the problem. I can understand why some people might think it fixes the problem. After you do a fresh reboot of your phone, the next time you connect it will definitely charge. But that is a once off situation. You still need to continue to hard restart your iPhone 10 before plugging it into the laptop every time you want to use it and keep it charged while you are using it.

I was a huge apple fan for years. For many years, the idea that "Everything just works" really was true at Apple, it appeared there used to be a real genuine concern at Apple to make sure everything was smooth and polished. Today, it really does seem now that Apple is more interested in profit above all else. If a software or firmware bug is introduced into a product, Apple no longer cares about the users that experience this bug, unless the problem is significant enough that it might financially impact them. This is Harvard ivy league thinking applied to business, it is a corrupt disease that has infected Apple. They treat their end users with contempt. I believe my next laptop and phone (for the first time in 15 years) will not be Apple users.

I'm using macOS Monterey version 12.6.2, and this issue has been around for a while.

This might be caused by iOS 16 update, not Ventura.

Hello everyone,

originally, my Mac and iPhone is the latest version and the problem occurred . When I downgrade Mac to Monterey . The problem still occurs.

Maybe the problem is from iphone

Give this a try: Reset the SMC of your Mac

I am having the same problem. When my 2019 MacBook Pro is on battery and/or Power, my iPhone Xs Max wont charge on Ventura. It means that my iPhone runs out of power about lunch. I try plugging/unplugging the phone and it makes no difference. When the phone is plugged in it shows the lightning power icon, but about 80% of the time it does not charge.

The (original authentic) cable is fine, it worked before upgrading to Ventura, and it works on the original authentic power block.

I wonder if they have crippled charging the iPhone 10's to force us to upgrade? Perhaps it's just a bug in their update on the iPhone 10, but either way, it has degraded my ability to use the phone properly. I now have to unplug my phone from my laptop several times per day just to charge it. This is ridiculous. In the past I could just leave it plugged in all day and not worry about the battery going flat.

My iPhone XS won’t charge from my iMac since recent iOS upgrade. All my Apple devices are fully upgraded in a timely way. Cables are fine. iMac is less than a year old. It has to be a software glitch in the iPhone since upgrade.

just found out today my iphone se and 12 pro max wont charge on my macbook air running monterey 12.6.2. and phone was 16.1.1. it didnt have this problem a few weeks ago. there may be an update in the interim that caused this issue?

anyway going to update to 16.2 now and see.

ok so i just updated to 16.2 and still no good.

Just upgrade my iPhone XR to iOS 16.2, and since now lost the ability to charge my phone via my iMac M1, this was working perfectly on the previous version of iOS, This must be a software issue!!!!

Phone also not as quick since upgrading, but I guess that's the joys of upgrading software on an older phone.

Yes. It’s shocking to me they haven’t bothered to fix it. Every day my phone is tethered and goes flat and I have to charge it again.

Maybe they have a kind of arrogant “stop using cables” kind of attitude and want to impose it on other people?

Here are the things I have already tried and already checked:

• I have updated my iPhone to the latest iOS
• I have purchased a brand new Apple brand USB-C to Lightning cable connecting my Macbook Pro to my phone
• I have purchased a brand new Apple brand USB-C ot USB-C cable to connect my Macbook Pro to wall charger
• I have cleaned the ports on both the Macbook Pro and the iPhone
• I have tried plugging the iPhone into each of the 4 different USB-C ports on the MacBook Pro 
• I have force quit all apps on the iPhone, in order to rule out the possibility that the iPhone is using as much or more power as is being provided by the charging cable
• I have tested charging the iPhone using a normal wall outlet charger, and it charges perfectly normally
• The Macbook Pro has continued to charge normally this entire time
• I have monitored the internal temperature of the MacBook Pro to ensure it is not excessively hot and therefore turning off charging functionality to the iPhone.
• On the Macbook Pro, I have tried both selecting and deselecting the "Manage battery longevity" option

I have the same issue.

It was after I've updated my iPhone XS to 16.3.1

Before that everything worked fine and I was on 15.x

Shouldn't have updated my iPhone.

Is the a fix coming or are we forced to get new phones.

I mostly charge my Phone through my laptop

Same issue with my XS and my Mac Studio. You’d think I would have been trained by now to never update anything.

Presumably they want me to buy a new phone—something I’ve honestly been meaning to do for a while anyway, but now I feel like not doing.

Have the same problem with my Mac Mini M1 and iPhone Xs Max. Little or no charge since upgrading to MacOs Ventura.
