Issues on my iPhone 12 Pro after updating to iOS 18.3.1

So the phone in context is my 4 year old IPhone 12. After updating it to iOS update 18.3.1 the phone has stopped charging when connected through brick and lightening cable. Initially I thought it might be an issue with a loose or damaged cable but that doesn’t seem to be the issue as the same cable and brick is working just fine for my wife’s iPhone 14. However the phone can still be charged using wireless charger.

Anyone else facing the same issue?

All of a sudden, none of my charging cords are working. This is not my outlet. This is not my cord. This is not my USB being dirty. It’s not my phone being dirty. It’s people working at Apple that don’t have their act together, constantly changing things without asking. This needs to stop you need to do an update so I can charge my freaking phone. This is outrageous.!

There seemingly hasn’t been an unusual number of charging-related issues getting reported.

Force-restart, and check again: Force restart iPhone - Apple Support — continue to hold the third press until the Apple logo appears, past any sliders that might appear.

Then follow this sequence: If your iPhone or iPod touch won't charge - Apple Support

And though you indicate none, I’d look for any cruft lodged in the charging port, too. Use a light, maybe a magnifying lens, and a wooden toothpick or plastic pick, and careful remove any debris in the socket.

Or it’s a problem with the iPhone charging port or charging hardware. Contact Apple Support.

This weekend both my iPhone 12 pro and my iPad cannot connect to my email and I cannot log back into mail. I use Office 365 hosted through Godaddy. Godaddy has identified that this is an issue with the latest upgrade and have reported it to Apple.....

Since my iPhone 15 Pro was updated to 18.3.1, my iPhone has been awful! I lost many contacts, the screen is freezing up, the touch response is lagging or non-responsive on random screens, and the battery drains quickly and feels warmer than usual. I had never had to charge my phone in the middle of the day until this update ruined my phone. I am too busy to deal with this crap. I have spent hours yesterday and today troubleshooting the issues and am getting frustrated. Do I need to go to the store to get a new phone? It was working GREAT before this update... PLEASE FIX this CRAP! It's like your update gave my iPhone a virus...

I've had the same issue on my iPhone SE 3rd gen, but not my iPad since updating. My phone's inbox isn't syncing all the messages. I AM getting some, but just a random selection. I've deleted and reinstalled Gmail twice on the phone and no fix.

I had been having problems just with my Face ID and it didn’t work at all. I found this video on Youtube that actually helped my issue. I don’t know if it will help with the other issues I’ve read about in this forum but for those with Face ID problems, here you go:

My cellular company tried everything to get my calls from dropping. My calls either drop or the person I am talking to starts not being able to hear me. I can hear them, but they can’t hear me. Soon after it does that, the call will drop. My phone as far as using it to talk to someone is useless right now. Apple needs to get this corrected now. Who wants a phone that they cannot place a phone call on. So frustrating. Paying for service, but can’t use it.

Ios update 18.3.1 seems to be supporting the evil in this world because we cannot control our children’s screen time and apple does not seem to care! Fix the screen time issues Apple! This cannot go on.

1123- ~ 82% is close to Apple's recommended level of 80% for having the battery replaced. And that weak battery is probably the reason your iPhone 11 cannot maintain a connection with cell tower signals. So...

It is super frustrating that parental controls screentime doesn’t work anymore. It has caused numerous family issues. When the blank is Apple going to fix this??? It’s not a small thing and I’m angry Apple hasn’t figured this out.

My electronic identification is ruined, I can't log on to my bank accounts. The system suggested I reloaded the app from the App Store but IOS-18.3.1 wouldn't allow me to logon to the App Store. First you get whacked on your head and then you get kicked in the butt. I hope the apple support people are working around the clock to fix this. It's the first time I've experienced such a major glitch from Apple and I've been an Apple user for 40 years. // gsf

Finally yesterday evening 2025-03-19 at 22:30 EU time the IOS v. 18.3.2 became available and my and my wife's iPhone 16 and iPad Pro 11 were updated to IOS 18.3.2. I immediately checked, my electronic ID as well as access to bank accounts etc. seems to be working again. Apple please don't give us such "electro chock" with the future upgrades.

Since the last update both IPhone and iPad emails are not working properly. Example one very annoying thing I’m not able to select unwanted or junk email. I have to click individually on each email to be able trash it. I hope it will be working again soon
