iPhone 15 Pro Max not charging

Ok just told Siri to power off my phone turned it back on now the charger works 🤷🏽‍♂️ weird

Just putting my 2 pence in.

so I got the 15 pro max in February, about 3 weeks went by and from out of nowhere it wouldn’t accept charge from any combination of leads, plugs, power banks. I had to purchase a MagSafe charger to be able to charge my phone at all. Took it into Apple. They told me it was a software issue, reset the phone and it worked for one evening… went back to apple they told me it was a mid section problem with the phone, waited 3 hours for them to change it, got the phone back and it worked!!! Amazing!!

so I thought… 2 weeks later.. same problem. Took it back to apple again, “software issue” reset the phone and reinstall the software in store.. fixed it for one night…

took it back the next day with the original lead and apple plug (more to prove my point) faulty lead and plug diagnosed so sent me home with a new one that worked in the store… took it home, perfectly working.. the following night it hadn’t charged properly again! Took it back to apple the next day they told me it could be an issue with the wireless charging section of the phone.. wasn’t convinced but they changed that, changed the mid section on my phone again and that seemed to work for 2/3 more weeks. Obviously thought that was it! Happy days!

Now I went to Disneyland Paris with my partner a week ago and I like to film stuff on my phone, the battery life on this phone is no joke but it did need topping up in the mid afternoon, guess what… it stopped taking charge again… this time it wouldn’t even take the MagSafe charger!! Honestly I’m at such a loose end with this, I’ve confirmed a tonne of leads that are working with plugs and other devices so I’m very confident it’s nothing external causing this.

the Apple Store isn’t exactly 5 minutes down the road from me either.. coming from a Samsung I felt like this was the right move but when you’ve got a powerhouse of a phone that won’t even charge properly what’s the actual point! Extremely disappointed with apple for having the issues they’re having with this and not shedding more light on it.

any help from others would be really appreciated

Soft resets fix all sorts of software problems. Since my original post I have not had the issue recur so I’m satisfied it’s not a hardware problem. I would think as long as it is not recurring frequently you probably don’t need to take it to the Apple Store.

Same issue as both of you. Powering it off and on seemed to work. Although if that didn’t fix it, I would have tried the reset like Ketofol did.

I had the same issue, I turned my phone off and on and it’s charging now

I just had the same problem and my iPhone 15 max is only 2 months old. When I turned my phone off and then back on the phone started charging again.

I got my 15 Pro Max in October and it started not charging from USB-C port with any cable configuration but would charge from to USB port with any cable configuration just fine. I got a replacement phone and the new one is doing the exact same thing! Seeing as how the cables are not the issue and that it’s when the current is coming from a USB-C port; It has to be an issue with the written code in the phones format that tells the phone what to do when the current is delivered from a certain configuration.

I purchased my new iPhone 15 Pro last week and have already started having issues over the past few days with it not charging fully or charging extremely slowly and then turning off unexpectedly, even with 12% battery remaining. Nothing seems to correct the issue, including the soft reset and a variety of charging attempts starting with the USB-c cord that came with it. Since I purchased it through Best Buy, I contacted them today and they recommended just trading it in for a new one. Hoping to have better luck this next time!

I did a simple restart and as of now, it's working like a charm. Definitely software-based. Based af.

I got a the 15 Plus and got the same issue. Somehow it's fixed by charging it with a Powerbank first, then charge it normally. Works all the time. Still annoying tbh

I bought 15promax last months Since last night I was trying to charge my new iPhone 15pro max but my phone is not charged anymore I try with new adapter and new charger but the result is still same

Welcome to the club.. iPhone 15 pro max not charging, I have same issue, the solution apple gave to me was express replacement $99 dollars fee, I have the new phone for two weeks and is working ok so far.

I had to use the warranty and since I don’t have an Apple Store, I had to bring it to Best Buy where it took them a month to try to order a part and decided that they don’t know how to fix it. They sent me a replacement, and I am having charging issues with that as well. It says that the accessory that I bought on the Apple website is not compatible too much power. I have to unplug it and plug it back in several times to get it to work. I am considering returning the replacement

i started noticing this with my iphone 15 too, i regret getting this phone tbh it has been bringing so many complications, i shouldve stayed with my iphone 13 pro max. lol

the reason for this is because instead of the computer charging your phone, the phone is charging your computer. I noticed that my computer would be charged and my phone would be dead whenever i do this.

Same issue with iphone 15 pro max, on 20th May, iphone is not getting charged. Tried with multiple chargers. After multiple attempts tried to restart and now its picking up the charge.

Not sure if its going to continue this way
