iPhone 15 keeps coming on and off charge

I just got my 15 and i’ve been charging it with the cable from the box and an apple usb c plug, every time it goes up by 1-2% it comes off charge then goes back on again. I’ve tried it with another usb c apple cable and has the same issue, charged it with an anker cable in my car with the same issue and I’m at a loss now of what to do!


I’ve always had the old cable issue of wiggling it to the right angle to charge but this isn’t the same thing, it can be laid flat and still go on and off charge like no tomorrow! It’s on IOS 17.0.2.


It still does charge and hold charge it’s just annoying and a bit concerning that it keeps going on and off like it is


EDIT: not sure why it says i posted this on my 12, i have posted it on the 15 🤦🏻‍♀️

Do you have charging optimization on in settings? If it’s set to 80% limit and your phone is close to 80% when you plug it up that may be the issue. Same may be true if you selected the Optimized Battery Charging option. Switch it to None and see if the same thing occurs. If it does then definitely take the phone to your nearest Apple Store to be evaluated (or call Apple for assistance if you don’t have a store in your area). You are still in the exchange period so you could also just opt to exchange it.


And it’s not saying you posted from your 12. That’s just the device you have on your profile.

I have this same issue, used the cable that I got from the box, and I used it with the adapter that I already had (this adapter works fine on my other devices) every time I want to charge my iPhone 15, it comes on and off charger every time it goes up by 1% and it keeps making that sound as if I just put it on the charger. It's a brand new phone and cable and it's driving me nuts. Does anyone have a solution for this?

My new iPhone 15 pro max keeps having interrupted charging. I am using the cable that comes with it in the box. I’ve asking used different cables and adapters but still the same. It keeps charging on and off until it passes 75% then will normalize.


I’ve cleaned all charging ports and it still does the same.


Can anyone help please? Is something wrong with my phone?

battery or not .. but I’m sure that I don’t want my battery to be ruined because of such a problem 😅
