The whole point of the hold is to maintain the battery within the appropriate temperature range.


The message itself is new, but iPhone has long (silently) done this.


iPhone with Optimized Battery Charging enabled and predictable charging patterns also pauses charging at 80% until shortly before usual first usage, to avoid fully charging and holding there unnecessarily.

There is nothing wrong with your phone and this is now a normal statement when the phone reaches 80% especially if you are fast charging your iPhone. We all now get such statements and is no cause for concern.

I am experiencing the same issue kindly tell me if you’ve got it resolved my ipad is very new and its doing this its making me worry


Please read the thread above for a discussion of both a safety mechanism that prevents charging while overheated.


This can be due to an iPad battery problem, or due to excessive ambient temperature, or due to heavy use of the processor and storage, and having the display brightness set high. Battery charging inherently heats the battery, too.


If your iPad battery is degrading or failing—all batteries will inevitably and inexorably degrade, and some few new batteries ave hardware issues—then get the iPad looked at by Apple or an Apple authorized repair provider.


iPad is different from iPhone in some ways, particularly around lacking the battery health display found on iPhone.
