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

Hi, I am using a Macbook Air M1 2020. I recently updated my Mac to MacOS Ventura.


I noticed that when I plug my iPhone XR to my Mac, the battery indicator on my iPhone shows it's charging but the battery percentage remains the same throughout the charging course. I tested with my Airpods case and face the same issue.


Anyone facing this same issue after updating to MacOS Ventura?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

Until a patch is released, I have found a temporary workaround for myself. I have an iPhone XR and a 2019 Macbook Pro with touchbar. When I connect my iPhone to my Macbook using a USB-C to Lightning cable, it doesn't charge of course.


However, if I:

1) Connect the iPhone to the Macbook Pro using a USB-C to lightning cable

2) Hard reboot the iPhone by holding down the power button and volume button

3) Unlock the iPhone when it reboots back up, leaving it connected to the Macbook Pro during this entire process

...my iPhone will begin to charge from my Macbook Pro.


Hopefully they fix this with a patch soon since it's obviously a software issues, but the above is working for me in the meantime.
