iPhone 17 intermittent charging issue

I’m having a somewhat intermittent issue where my iPhone 17 will not charge. It has happened on three occasions: once a few weeks ago, once yesterday and again today. Restarting the phone resolves the issue but I’m concerned it could permanently stop working if there’s a hardware issue. Is this a known bug that can be resolved in a future update?

iPhone 17, iOS 26

1 Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF). 


2 The above will probably resolve the issue. If the issue persists, then I recommend that you take advantage of your iPhone 17’s 1 YR Limited Warranty and have it examined at the Apple Store or at an authorized service center or you may also contact ➔ Apple Support
