iPhone 15 charging keeps blinking and beeping

Plugged into the cable that came with new phone. And Apple cube. Upon charging the screen blinks on off while beeping every 2 seconds that it is charging.

My IPhone 15 pro max notifies me every 1% of it charging. I’m not using the supplied charge cable as its woefully short. I’ve seen on many forums this is happening. If Apple are punishing people for not using their cable it’s the lowest of the low .

Any ideas of a fix or do we have to complain to Apple for a software fix 😩

I had same issue with my 15pro. Tried a "anker" cable first. Thought it was a pattern with certain numbers since it was happening at 2,4,6 & 10s of numbers when going up, cable is a little loose in the porrt as well! I texted apple they thought my mag safe case was triggering it. Took the case off & switched to cable that came with the phone & it was still doing it. The phone takes a charge but the flashing/buzzing is annoying.. cant tell if it's a port, cable, or system defect!

I JUST purchased my iPhone 15+ this morning and had no problems charging with a traditional USB-C charging cable in my vehicle and in my house. As soon as I try to use the C-C cable provided with the phone there were glitches and blinking lightning bolt symbols in the battery area. I tried powering down my device, switching sides of the c-c cable, block switches etc. and NOTHING helped. Seemed to take the charge away faster actually. But the only solution I’ve found thus far is using an off brand USB -C cable with my Apple device. Still hasn’t charged up from 10% but praying it works

Hey @jordana128 so I’ve figured it’s to do with the Wattages and not the cable. I got the same 1% blinks/vibrations when charged using a plug/Anker charger above 20W. If use anything below 20W am able to get a smooth charging. Includes both OEM cable that came along with the phone + anker 2m cable that I use.

I had this issue and after trying 4 different charging cables and sources (two different adapters and cords in my house, a third cord in my car, and a fourth cord at my office plugged directly into my Apple laptop) I can confidently say that, for me, the cords were fine. The issue was the optimized charging and the clean energy options. I just turned them both off, restarted my iPhone 15, and now my phone is charging correctly.


I am guessing that, for me, the most recent update did something to cause this.

As someone else mentioned here , I have an iPhone 15 and it seemed to start for me with iOS 17.3 update - this happens with my in-car charger cigarette charger, which is a certified as USB-C PD port (20W) and a Belkin USB-C to USB-C - both bought in last month as I thought it was my old in-car charger that I’d had for 3 ish years that was the problem!!

this doesn’t seem to happen on my in-house charger I use a night (thank heavens)- where I use a Juice mains USB-C 20W PD charger and the supplied Apple USB-C cable.


this issue is very annoying - not found a fix yet, but notiys me every 2 seconds that my phone is charging via the Dynamic Island notification.


please, please a fix soon….

I have a 15 pro max. Same problem. I bought a very nice high quality charger, actually 2. One for the car one for wall plug. Each has a usb-a and a usb-c port. High quality. From Amazon the brand is "Fast." Came with 2 high quality usb-c to usb-c cables. They worked fine until recently. Maybe my last software update. Both chargers work fine with a cheap usb-c to usb-a cable. It's got to be this 17.3.1 update.
