Charging issue due to update ios 17.3.1

Just updated my phone, and it’s currently doing this as well, I made sure it wasn’t the cables or the plugs after the update my phone just doesn’t want to charge or connect to car play I didn’t drop it or anything just randomly stopped working after updating it

I have the same issue with my iPad. I updated, and it stopped charging completely. It was four years old (7th gen) so I opted to buy a new one. I’ve had mine a week, and it forced an update to 17.3.1 when I turned it on initially. It already has stopped charging. The new update is screwing something up. I have an appt tomorrow. I’ll update here if they have any more info.

My IPad isn’t charging either. Please follow up with info. if you find anything out.

I have just updated to 17.5.1 and it’s saying there is water in the charging port. Charging port is free from debris and liquid. Please fix

Also experiencing this on my 2020 12.9” iPad Pro. Some cables work for a small split second, others not at all. My USB-C hub and audio interface power up and shutdown in a constant rhythm like breathing in and out…

iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Charging issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors.

I get a notification that "my battery is not an iPhone battery." I plug it in and it vibrates but the lightning bolt does not come up. I updated my phone last night.

New one is a 10th gen.

My iPhone 14plus & our iPad Pros 2016 are also not charging. Hubbys old iPhone 8 won’t charge either? Think all since 17.3.1 update?

I have a nearly brand new iPad Pro. Got it at Christmas. It was working fine but the last couple of weeks stopped charging from the charging block. I found a workaround where if I take the USB C cable and plug it directly into a USB outlet (I have a USB outlet on my surge protector) then it will charge. I tried several different charging blocks and none of them worked. I checked the OS and it is 17.3.1. I updated to 17.4 but it still doesn’t work with a charging block. Is there a fix for this issue?

Yeah, 7 Gen iPad has just done this today. Thought it was my lighting changer to start with until I tried connecting it to the computer and also in my car.

Didn't even know this was a thing until about 2 hours ago. Has Apple acknowledged the issue yet, and have they got a fix for it? I need this iPad for my work and now I'm stuffed till I can work this out. I've just contacted the entire family to turn off automatic updates on everything apple that we have.

Also, if there is to be a software update, can they push this out onto devices that have completely flat batteries which mine now is?

Updated my phone as well and it’s having charging issues. I broke down and bought a USB C to lighting cord that is genuine Apple and it charges just fine. It’s these older cheaper charging cables. All 5 of them won’t charge my phone anymore but the apple cord works just fine.

Similar situation in my iphone 11, updated to 17.4.1 and stop charging when phone is on. Only way to charge is to shut down the phone and charge it in a cable directly to a surge protector I have with usb, as with wall adapter with usb or type C would not charge, with wireless charger it charges little but cannot do full charge, also battery drains faster than before the update. Battery max capacity is 73%, port is clean as I could back up directly in pc with itunes. I am reading issues charging after this update even in new phones. We have another iphone 12 and update was good.

the Apple lightning cable isn’t just a dumb cable that connects pin to pin - there’s a microprocessor in the plugs at each end. cheap chinese cables are not the same. you can find vids on YT about this.

HOWEVER - given that all you want to do is charge and not transfer data at the fastest speed, it should be possible to use the 3rd party cables that previously worked. the cynic in me says that Apple have made a deliberate choice to do this to force people to buy official overpriced apple cables as they see it as a revenue stream they are missing out on.

Welcome to the Apple ecosystem which is kind of like an abusive relationship but we keep coming back.

I’ve tried different chargers and cables that worked before and cleaned the plug, which was not dusty but no luck, my iPad is not charged anymore. Then tried a power bank with some USB-A to USB-C cable and one is working. I guess it‘s a communication issue that bracks the charging. Was already thinking of exchanging the charging port, but that‘s expensive and might not help - Apple this not the customer service we expect for your pricy equipment, it‘s time for a statement!
