iPhone 16 not charging with Apple Magsafe charger unless plugged in

iPhone 16 will NOT take a charge from Apple Magsafe charger unless it's plugged in. Phone says its charging, and charger is losing power, but the percentage does not go up. I have tried several chargers.

I presume you mean it will only charge when the cable is plugged into the phone?


Even though you should not use both, if you do then as far as I knnow the USB cable takes precedence.


So basically, your magsafe is not charging. Make sure the charge brick is the Apple 20w or greater. If that does not charge then the phone is faulty.
