Today, I got one more software update 17.1.1 and that also installed successfully, but charging issue not getting resolved. I have tried few of my friends iPhone chargers and absolutely no charger works after this software update….

My wife's Iphone 15 Pro had this same issue after update and mine did not. I simply did a hard reboot on her phone (up volume, down volume, hold power button until apple logo appears). Fixed it instantly.


Not sure how to fix this if your battery is totally dead and you can't power on the phone. Maybe try while connected to the charger??

I'm having the same issue after updating my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Earlier today, I plugged the charger into my phone and had a message prompt indicating liquid was detected in my port and to wait until it dries before charging whenever my phone hasn't been near water. Maybe the update is causing the liquid indicator to go off, which won't allow you to charge your phone. At the moment I'm using wireless charging to power up my phone. Has anyone figured out a fix without having to reset the entire phone?

Updating iOS on your iPhone should typically not alter the fundamental functionality of the device. It's possible that there were underlying issues before this update, which you might not have been aware of previously or might not have noticed.


In general, iOS updates are designed to enhance the user experience, improve security, and fix bugs, rather than introducing major disruptions to core features. The reported issue of the screen flickering and displaying a white screen after an update is likely caused by factors that are not explicitly mentioned in your post.


iOS updates primarily focus on improving system performance, introducing new features, fixing bugs, and enhancing security. They are designed to preserve your personal data, settings, and information intact.


During an iOS update, your device's operating system is upgraded, but your personal data, such as contacts, photos, messages, and other information, should remain unchanged. However, it's always a good practice to perform a backup of your device before any major update to ensure that your data is safely stored.


It's important to note that while an iOS update itself should not alter personal details, it's possible that certain features or settings may be adjusted or improved with the update. In such cases, you may need to review and adjust specific settings to match your preferences after the update.


Always make sure to read and understand the update details provided by Apple before proceeding with an iOS update, and follow best practices such as backing up your device to minimize any potential risks or complications.

Your troubleshooting steps don't Apple here. Do you get some form of monetary bonus for pasting that same comment that you learnt from Apple advisors? You need to give better advice. None of it even applied to this battery issue.


I came here for help with my iPad Pro not charging since 17.1.1 - none of your comment was helpful. Refrain from posting it in the future. I thought you was a 'bot' to begin with

My iPhone 14 Pro Max did the same exact thing. It was working fine nothing was wrong with the charging at all. In fact I was just bragging about it days before talking about how this has been better than android. After the update it will not charge on some cords or it only goes to 64 or overnight it may reach up to 88 but it will not charge fully. It started right after the update. It needs to get fixed.

My iPhone 14 Pro Max just quit charging on trusted 3rd party chargers which has never happened before. A charger is a charger. It was working just fine a few weeks ago when I started using the 10ft chord rapid charger. I understand slow or regular charging speeds if a third party charger is defective, but not charging at all? That’s a new one. I’ve never had this issue; I have a home office, workplace office and bedside charger in addition to wireless charging pads. This iPhone is top tier, highest quality on the market and can’t take a charge? Something is not right. My husbands iPhone 12 Pro is just fine on all aforementioned charging sources. Shouldn’t matter where or how I charge my iPhone. This must be exclusive to newer models and iOS updates. When searching online they’ll tell you to put the phone on low power, dim the screen, put it on dark mode, stop running background app processes. BS! This iPhone is engineered to handle all that AND MORE - especially when hooked up to a power source. I have no answers yet but would love to chime in and get to the top/bottom of this unfortunate situation. If anyone has a response with a fix please let me know! I can only power on power off volume up down hard press power to restart my phone so many times in a day. Nothing is working which leaves me to believe iOS is missing crucial directive code.
