iphone 12 stopped charging after iOS 18.1.1 update

Same on my iPhone 14 Stopped charging correctly after updating to 18.1.1. No issues until that. Tried new cables and have been using the mag chargers since it was new. So I know the port is not worn out. Apple fail again.

I didn't even do the update and my phone is acting crazy. It is hanging at 1% charged and keeps going on and off. The battery life just depleted all of a sudden. There has to be an issue with Apple today.

The same for me on my iPhone 13 Pro. I can only charge wirelessly. Before the update I had no issues. This is unacceptable Apple!

Since updating to iOS 18.1.1 my iPhone X has been having consistent issues with charging via cable. It happens when I use Apple cables as well as others. It occurred the day after the update, and I didn't have problems before this. Its so frustrating

Major issues iPhone 12 not charging after the latest update. I’m diabetic and this is my lifeline. I need a fix fast.

My ipad pro 5th gen isn't working either after the update. i've tried every outlet, charger, safe cleaning method possible, and it still doesn't work. it charged perfectly fine the whole day before. I contacted an apple agent as well but they assured me there's nothing wrong with my ipad, even though there is.

Same for my iPhone 12 Pro since updated to IOS 18.1.1.....

I’m having the charging issue along with notification problems and sounds. What a mess!

Same problem with iPhone 13 mini.

I just ran into this issue today with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. My 9th gen iPad also updated. Only off brand chargers work on my iPad now, and wireless chargers on my phone. Apple car play still works thankfully. I got off the phone with apple support because they claim it’s a hardware issue. How? Both devices in the same day? Impossible. It’s still charging in my car without issues so it’s clearly not. I’m 600 miles away from the nearest Apple Store and they want me to ship it. A phone I’m still paying for! All my Apple brand charges work just fine on my AirPods and watch, and my SO’s phone who didn’t update. I’m SOL because I can’t uninstall it now. I didn’t even remember agreeing to updating my phone, just my iPad. It was charging and it shut off and came back on with the update. The chat support was more understanding but the people on the phone were irritating.

I’m having a similar issue too. I have the 16 pro max and couple nights ago my phone randomly stopped recognising the charging lead when I plugged it in. I rebooted my phone then it worked. Happened again last night and tonight. Plugged in lead, phone doesn’t recognise it and won’t charge, reboot phone then it works fine.

I was starting to get so frustrated and starting to lose hope. Then came across your comment, turning off ‘Optimised Battery Charging’ did the trick for me.

Thank you so much.

Same issue with iPad Air 5th Gen. says not charging, with two different cables and using a USB charger and an iMac as the power source. I noticed this after the power unexpectedly cut after a few hours use.

I could not charge my Ipad with a british plug anymore after the ios update whilst visiting from Continental Europe. What is this? Deliberate chaos?
