USB C on iPhone 15 not working

I bought my iPhone 15 a couple of weeks ago, I am able to use the genuine apple charger to charge my phone, but when I stay over at my bf s house and use his third party usb c charging chords it doesn’t work. I tried like 3 third party chords and nothing worked. I updated to the newest iOS, I also turned my phone off, factory reset, nothing worked. It feels like my phone is the only one with this problem—am I doomed to be stuck with genuine iPhone chargers ?? Anyway to fix this issue?

I’m having a charging issue as well, but i’m using the cord that came inside the apple iphone box. When plugged in, my phone will repeatedly make the visual and audible symbol for unplugging and plugging it in as if it can’t hold a solid connection with the charger. Super annoying to hear while trying to sleep. I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to do.

So funny. Found cable that works (not Apple) and now the other cable wich didn’t work before works as well. This is strange.

I have EXACTLY the same problem until just this second ago. Just plugged in the usbc cord that wasn’t working and after leaving it in my phone for 3 minutes it suddenly came to life.

How low was your iPhone discharged? I have the feeling that this only happens when the iPhone is deeply discharged.

Did you ever get this fixed? I just got a 15 plus today and this is the exact scenario I’m in when I just got the phone.

Because of EU regulations. Apple won’t say that though. I for one am a fan of it, It’s unfortunate others are having major issues with it and wish I knew of a fix for everyone. 😢

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.

The reboot worked for me, but only for that charge. Next time it was charged/turned off and on again, it went back to not charging on USB-C to USB-C again.

What worked?

Found the solution, plug it into your computer! I plugged it into a m2 mini and it works again. Resetting the iPhone 15 pro max did nothing. Shame on you Apple.
