Apple 20W USB-C charging brick starts charging, but stops after a minute or so.

Hi there,

I received my iPhone 15 Pro a little over a week ago, and later bought the official Apple charger separately. The first few days were fine, until I plugged my phone in, it started charging, and then suddenly stops. At first I thought it had something to do with the new iPhones being able to reverse charge through the USB-C port, because I was getting a message which said “Accessory is using too much power” (which is weird, since it’s a power brick, which should in no case pull power from my phone to charge what, my house?).

I already went to an official Apple store, and they, just like I thought, thought it most likely had something to do with software.

But, I needed some information from my old phone, a Google Pixel 5, and hooked it on the Apple charging brick. It started charging from 0% until it just stopped at 7%, just to not charge again.

So, my question is, are there people who have the same problem? Because when I googled this issue, there were several people who got the same message, but none (as far as I know) mentioned that the same thing occurred on a different device as well.

I understood from other questions that I am able to trade the charger. Can I do this at any Apple Reseller, or do I need to go to an official Apple store?

Cheers from the Netherlands,
