iPhone 15 Pro Max thinks charger is an Accessory?

I too was not told this during time of purchase. I just assumed a new phone would come with a new charger. Cord and block. Upon looking in the boxes contents post purchase, I asked where the **** the charger was…. and of course they start throwing all their deals for”accessories” around….Like huh?? Since when did chargers become accessories? So annoying! They should tell people this prior to completing sale. It is pretty vital information. Not everyone has that sh** laying around, or other apple products to charge on. (Ok, yes i’m sure the vast majority does) but still, it’s a charger it should come with a brand new phone that’s over $1000 point-blank.

I just got my iPhone 15 and it has no charging plug, only the cord. I can't even plug it into my old charger. I'm so confused how I'm supposed to charge my phone without having to plug it into my computer. Bad move by Apple and really inconvenient for customers. Ugh.

Very disappointed there is no block to charge my phone. This is how you treat loyal customers? I had no idea of this when I purchased the phone. I Now have little power with no way to charge my phone. Seriously, with all the money you rake in, can you at least give your customers a cord & block. Come on MAN!!

I just started getting this message after all this time. Been using the same 15k mA charger pack with the original cable and never had an issue. Has nothing to do with being Apple certified and seems more to do with a software update or something else.

Hi there everyone, I have just received my new iPhone 15. upgraded from the iPhone 11.

I am 72, not an idiot but also nowhere near as au fait with the technology as you youngsters.

I opened the box containing the phone and the charging cable but no "plug".....

I have several of those white plugs already. I looked at the actual cable and both ends are identical. I plugged one end into the "15" but saw that compared with the "11" cable, the end is much smaller and therefore looks too small to go in to the plug! I managed to put it in without forcing it and turned it on. Now, I am not sure whether nothing is happening because I have not set up the 15 yet or whether I have done the wrong thing. Isn't this a bit weird? Why make the cable a different size to the actual plug hole?

I am scrolling through all sorts of instructions online but nothing seems to mention the actual plug! I do hope I am making sense everyone and hope I can get some help. Unfortunately I am bedridden right now due to recent surgery, so cannot get in to the APPLE shop.

regards everyone from Sydney, Australia

Almost feel a bit guilty that my wall plug usb-c to usb-c charges my 15 fine, as well as C/C cable in my MacBook Pro. However two different new powerbanks, one of which jump starts a pickup truck if required, can’t charge my 15 without the accessory message everyone on this thread has had thrust in their faces when needing some juice. Yeezus, mind blown 🤯🙄

Maybe I’ll accidentally on purpose lose my phone again in Amsterdam, similar to last week, so I have an excuse to use my bulletproof backup 11 again 🫳🎤💥

I’m having the exact same issue with my 15 pro. While I a. Using a 3rd party adapter, I am using the cord that came with the phone. I have charged my 15 pro with this adapter for the last two days (and my 13 pro for about 1.5years), but I just started getting the warning message now.

The third party adapter does meet all of the recommended specifications; could there be another reason?

Got the 15pro.

no problems until today.

The same power bank I previously connected multiple times without problems, now gives me the Accessory using too much power error message and won’t charge.

Never ever happened with the countless android phones I owned previously.

any advice?? Thanx in advance

and what adapter would that be if the brand new one that was given to us when purchased is causing this issue? Let alone any other adapter we try

The iPhone 15 series did not come with an adapter. It came with a cable. It’s been that way since 2020 I believe. You may have bought one separately but it did not come with the iPhone 15 series.

Well first of all adapters, don’t come with phones anymore i’ve been using my PlayStation 5 to charge my IPhone 15 Pro Max with a charging cable that is included no issues

I am having the same exact problem to where the pop-up cant get off my screen, how did you fix it?

I’m using adapter that I bought when I purchased by apple pro 15.

And who sell this adapter what brand is it
