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.

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.

Hey @metroseal so I’ve figured it’s to do with the W 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. Guess Apple is blocking users from going above 20W maybe.

Happened to me using my car’s usb slot. Amusingly did the same thing on my spouse’s Anddoid!


when inspecting the phones they appeared to be going in and out of an active charging state.


The solution was to plug the cable into a charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter instead! Crazy.


this is probably due to some power/voltage conversion issue. Especially since the USB standards keep changing and 10 year old vehicles likely have outdated hardware.
