My iPhone is not charging after updating to iOS 18.6.2

My phone is not charging the battery after I updated the software to version 18.2.6. Before the update, everything was working fine. What can I do? If I run out of battery, would my only option be to buy another battery? I have already tried resetting the iPhone and restoring the original settings.

Perform a Force Restart:

  • Press and release Volume Up
  • Press and release Volume Down
  • Press and HOLD side button until Apple logo appears. This may take up to 15 seconds and you have to ignore anything else on the screen during that time. If you do not see the Apple Logo, try again.


Post what your Battery Health is at Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging > Maximum Capacity.


Try with a different cord/charger
