"Cannot Use Accessory" error while charing my iPhone

I recently purchased my new iphone 16pro! And after 2month of usage it always shows “cannot use accessory this accessory uses to much power” while charging my phone! I have tried my ways like switching the ports etc! But still it continues every time! I don’t know if it’s a bug or something! But its also taking more than 2hrs to charge the phone even tho i have a 20w charger! And usb-c cable!


I don’t know the issue but it’s really frustrating as this phone is literally new! And very disappointed as a apple user!


plz help someone this problem won’t go

Then there is either something physically wrong with the cable, the power brick, or the phone.


Try a different charger and cable to see if you can isolate the problem. If that doesn’t help, make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have the phone checked.


I don’t suppose you got a warning at some point about liquid in the charging port on the phone and selected the option to bypass it…?
