My iPhone 15 Pro Max keeps giving me the message “cannot use accessory - this accessory uses too much power” but it’s for my USB-C wall charger, not an accessory. It keeps charging as normal, but the alert keeps going off every couple of minutes. I charge my phone at night and I’m a light sleeper so it’s pretty annoying. Any idea how to stop this?
It sounds like your iPhone is seeing the mains adaptor as an accessory which needs to be charged from the iPhone. This suggests it is an uncertified third party charger which does not comply with USB-C specifications.
My advice is to test with and use a fully certified and approved power adaptor and USB-C cable, ideally genuine Apple to eliminate all doubt about compatibility.
Ok you’re correct the phone wasn’t the one that came with it, my new iPad was the one that came with it and the chord, and they do the same thing, yet they came brand new from apple. so.. ??
Did you get this fixed? How so?
I also buy adapter from apple product. But 30W. Since i also want to use for laptop. At first month. Can charge. Sudden cannot and says too much power and cannot charge at all. How is that possible.
Same issues here. Already buy all original
Did u ever figure out what happened because mines doing the same thing right now.
i am going to buy 15 pro max this month and I have an Apple charger 20w Model A1692 , is it going to work properly with the iPhone 15 pro max
Yes
My 15 pro max is charging perfectly fine with the 20w Apple charger- no issues.
Me too…
Well its Jan 15, 2024 and im having the same issue. Apple wont admit it but its def an apple 15 issue. I have the promax.

It’s a necessity!
My iPhone 15 ProMax gives me the same error message and I AM using the block and charging cord I purchase at the store when I bought my phone!
Mine came with cord and block..
there's been no issues until now.
I have used nothing but the cord and block that came with the phone since November and now all the sudden I’m getting this error…
iPhone 15 Pro Max thinks charger is an Accessory?
