USB C on iPhone 15 not working

I'm having the same problem now too. Won't charge with USB-A to USB-C cables(Belkin & Anker). Only works using USB-C to USB-C to cables. Won't even charge using a Asus 45W laptop charger. Just annoying.

Charge and connect with the USB-C connector on your iPhone 15 - Apple Support

"You can charge your iPhone with a USB-C cable and power adapter compliant with the USB-C standard, including USB Power Delivery — such as the cable that comes with your iPhone."

I'm not sure whether Apple is saying that

• An iPhone 15 can charge from a power source that supports USB Power Delivery, or
• An iPhone 15 must charge from a power source that supports USB Power Delivery

Just weird. Managed to charge with a Mcdodo brand USB-A to USB-C cable. Other brands just doesn’t work. All USB-C to USB-C is fine. My Anker(A to C) cable is just about 1 years old and charges my other devices fine. Why is this happening? lol

Same same same. Iphone 15 pro v17.4.1

I sent back a highly recommended surge protector I thought was defective due to the USB-C port. Replacement arrived. Same issue. Tried everything mentioned to no avail. Tested on chargers, different cables, all other devices would charge. I dug out an extra long apple cord that came with my MacBook pro and it started charging. Not sure how long it will start this way but at least I got one full charge! 😀

This is clearly a huge problem - and probably a design flaw with the USB-C port on iPhones.

My phone never worked properly with 3rd party cables - all are loose in the socket / fall out or don’t exchange data / carry charge - even one I bought from the Apple Store and that I was told ‘definitely wouldn’t be a problem’

the pain is that the supplied cable is usb c to usb c - but most of the places I need to charge from or exchange data with (my car for one, my laptop another) don’t have a usb c port.

now I’m having trouble with the supplied cable.

Same issue here. Just picked up a new USB-C charger. Charges my MacBook fine, but won’t charge the iPhone. Overly frustrating.

You have to use an Apple MFI (made for iPhone) cable (if they have a USB-C certified)

This worked for mine! Thanks!

Though holding volume up/down and power calls emergency services.

Just holding the power button performed the hard reboot for me.

Mine has done the same. Used 3 different Apple usb cables and none worked. I reset my iPhone completely and now it works

I had a similar issue. Car Play was not working on KIA Seltose when connected with USB A to USB C cable. Now I tried with boAt type C A 750 cable and it’s working with this cable.

it has nothing to do with cables. just restart the phone.

After more testing, I found that in my case, only when using the PD USB-C port with 30W output, the iphone 15 pro max can only charge up to 80% even though I don't have the "limit to 80%" charging setting. It does charge very fast, same as stated on apple.com, 35 minutes from 1% to 50%, 1 hour to 80%. With 20W or below, it can charge up to 100% without issue. However, the same charging port has no problem charging ipad pro 12.9" M2 to 100%. So I think there may be bugs in IOS 17.0.3 given there are some known limitations/issues on the battery protection settings.

I did that reboot and it worked once and went right back to not charging again. It’s so random how it will fail so many times and then suddenly work. Then back to not working. USB-A to USB-C works all the time, so does wireless charging.

Same problem!! I hate it!! I can literally only use one charger!! Of course they are gonna make you go buy an expensive Apple charger to have an extra one in your car 😑!! Why didn't they stick with the Apple charger!! It is one thing that made it different from Samsung and it charged so much better and faster! Go back to the regular charging port please!!

I'm having similar issues when using a USB A to USB C cable. Unable to connect to Apple Car play and home USB charging when using third party cables (a few high quality). Hopefully a software update to fix this soon.

Crazy but my iphone 15 pro will not charge in my house at all but charges on my car charger which has 12.3 volts currently. i have tried great accessories including original charger which comes with the phone obviously minus purchase great 3 party cube and also have multiple cheap ones but this only started today ... i have an update i will do tonight after im at 20% and will let everyone know if that helped or not ... for now i sit in tha car to charge my phone 🥴
