After iOS 16.4.1 Update, My iPhone Not Charging using USB-C cable with my laptop

Is this one of the problems documented with the update?

We don't have access to that type of information. But, I can find virtually nothing using a quick search on this support forum with the same issue.

We assume that you have already tried a different cable, restarted your Mac and phone, etc.

The next step would be to perform a Forced Restart on the phone.......Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

Follow the instructions very carefully. Many users do not hold down the Side button long enough for the Apple logo to appear in the center of the screen.....instead, they release the button too soon and use the slider to power off the phone. That's not correct.

There are only two possible results when you perform the Forced Restart

1) The phone returns to normal operation

2) The phone has a hardware problem that will need attention at the Apple Store or authorized Apple Service shop

It's hard to understand how a software update could create a hardware problem, but anything is possible, I suppose.

By the way, if I use an Apple laptop with the same cables, the iPhone does charge.

So the phone is OK and cable is OK.

I don't have a PC here to test, so can't go much further with this.

You might want to check to make sure that you have the most up to date version of iTunes on the PC. That might just include updated USB driver software.

Mystery solved. My Windows laptop has a software power manager function that controls certain functions includind the USB-C charging. I decided to turn it off and back on and that did the trick.

Thanks to all for the troubleshooting suggestions.

That's a new one. But charging off of a computer and/or with USB hubs can be tricky sometimes. Good to see you figured it out on your own.

Have you tried other cables? Power adapters? And does it make a data connection? Does it say something like "Accessory Not Supported". Or "Not Charging" with the battery icon?

Could just be a coincidence. Have you checked your Lightning port for debris?

Sounds interesting. I would point out that it could be an issue with the software-based power/voltage "negotiation" between your computer and your iPhone. USB-C can be really complex.

This could just be something where there are reports to Apple and they do another iOS update.

In the meantime, can you just charge off of a power adapter? That might be your only solution until there's an update.
