iPhone 15 Pro Max not charging

Hi, I have recently purchased an IPhone 15 Pro Max and have been using it for the last week. Yesterday I plugged it in to charge using the Apple provided USB-C charging cable and it would not charge.


Fortunately I can still charge using a wireless charger but ideally I’d like to know if anyone else was experiencing this issue?


And if so how did they fix it😕


Iphone was purchased brand new from the Apple Store and I have not dropped it, damaged it at all in the week or so I’ve owned it, very disappointed something so new has stopped working so soon.

**update**


although some time ago now I did take the IPhone 15 Pro Max to the Apple Store and they actually informed me that this is becoming a common issue. There was nothing they could do to fix it so gave me a new phone as a replacement.


It seems to be some sort of manufacturing error

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.

Me too. Phone is 7 months old and randomly started not charging about 10 days ago, have been to the Apple Store (150 mile round trip with a 1 and 4 year old) said it was fixed, charged when I first put it on cable but stopped that night, no alarm for work, have sat on phone with operator since 9:20am it is now 1:15pm carrying out “resets” and as a result I’ve my phone wiped and basically she said they can’t fix it until an update comes。frustrated wouldn’t cover it

My iPhone 15 pro max will not charge with the apple provided c type lead. The lead actually doesn’t hold into the socket very well at all either. The phone is only 6 months old so disappointed because the repair is going to put me without my phone for a while no doubt and I run a business with it. Never been dropped or mistreated and this happens with such a expensive phone.

First, thank you so much, your suggestion did help! Bought my phone last October 8, 2023. The same thing happened to me, I thought my charger was broken, but it wasn’t, since it still works when I charge my power bank. I even tried using different USB-C but still did not work. I also talked to the apple support and they just told me to go to the store and get it fixed. Glad I saw your comment and tried it. I was so worried that my charging port will not work anymore. Thank you!

I only have my iPhone for two weeks 15 Pro Max - last night I plugged it in and it didn’t charge. I was going bananas. I checked all my chargers. I checked all my cables I put my watch in and it was charging. I put my iPad in it was charging. Apple fix this problem - I paid a lot of money for this phone. I had a 12 Pro Max and it was perfect.

I went on YouTube to fine the answer to fix my new 15 pro max ….!

i had It for two weeks and now it won’t charge. this has to be a software problem Apple fix it because I don’t wanna keep on doing this.
