My iPhone 13 after the update, iOS 18 does not want to charge the battery! Neither wirelessly, nor cable! Will a new update with a solution to the problems come out soon?

I had the same issue, but no more.

here are the steps I took:


  1. I slapped the charger onto another iPhone, still on IOS 17, just to be sure it wasn’t a charger issue.
  2. I turned off the impacted phone, then transferred the charger to the back of it, while still active (indicator still on).
  3. The phone turned on automatically and the charger stopped shutting off.
  4. I removed it and tested in 3 more times, it doesn’t trip off anymore.


All you night need to do is just turn off the phone and wake it with the charger.


I hope that solves your problem too .

Hi. Since last update, my iPhone 13 won’t charge neither with official Apple cable nor wireless charger. I have tried whatever solution Found on the net but nothing works…. Don’t even know how I could possibly download an hypothetical update that would eventually cure the problem now… bought this iPhone few months ago. Frustrating

Charges fine when wired charged, but MagSafe is lucky to gain 2% every half hour..

Apple online tech help went through various solutions to no avail, escalated it to a senior tech, had me download diagnostic information from my phone, sent me to an Apple Centre, who tried everything, wiped my phone and reinstalled from the backup.

Finally, I was told to exchange for a new phone which I did today. Reinstalled from back up et cetera - same issue! Help! (iOS 18, iPhone 16 Pro)
