After updating my iPhone 15 to iOS26, my qi2 wireless charger keep turning on and off. Though my phone is constantly showing charging, the battery keeps dropping while connected.
Also tried with other phones(not iPhone) works fine, the charger does not disconnect.
I have been using this wireless charger with my iPhone for the past 1year never had any issue.
Is this a genuine Apple Magsafe charge puck for the 15? If not then there is nothing to be done until you try one and come back.
It's working fine on my 15 with every wireless charger I have.
Try another charger.
Even 3rd party ones?

Doesn’t matter, Apple can make changes that may not be compatible with knock-offs.
Until you try in on an Apple wireless charging puck there is not a lot to be said.
(Except that my iphone SE3 on ios26 charges with a fake $5 charge puck from eBay)
Shouldn't need an Apple branded charger as this was supposedly developed to the qi standard so any qi certified charger should work. 3rd party chargers aren't "knock-offs" so long as they meet certification.

Thank you, finally someone understands the point and here is the link for anyone questioning the authenticity of the charger's certification - https://jpsapi.wirelesspowerconsortium.com/products/qi/23022
Shouldn't need to, but that depends on how closely the knock/offs match Apple's specs.
Has anyone been able to resolve this issue?
Additionally, to those in the comments who claim chargers are knockoffs, how can they be a knockoff if they are Qi2 certified? By this logic only MagSafe chargers are not knockoffs. Why do charging standards exist then??
No it's 3rd party but it was working absolutely fine before the update.
Gotcha!
Same problem with the iPhone 16 Pro Max and original Apple MagSafe charger
this is also happening to me, ive tried restarting the phone and now will force reset, but it's definitely the iOS 26 software.
There are other remedies in the thread.
Update with IOS 26.1: I'm still facing the issue with a qi2 charger
@apple is there any solution/fix for this?
iOS26 update on iPhone 15 ruined wireless charging
