After updating 9th gen iPad to iOS 27 it will not charge.
It had gone totally flat.
I’ve done numerous hard resets, using original charger and cable that has been tested and working.
Battery icon shows on screen with one red line, and it shows the charge cable has been plugged in.
iPad, iPadOS 27
I had the same issue, with the battery icon and single red bar, when I updated to iOS27 on my Gen 9. I was able to fix the issue, by using the Apple 20W charger in a wall socket. I plugged the Ipad in to the charger and left it alone. I did not try to reset it, start it, or anything else. I just left it alone. After about a day and a half on the charger, I pushed the power button to check it and I had 93 percent battery. It took that long for the battery and whatever else was going on to wake up. I kept it on the charger and got it to 100%. Ipad is working fine now, charging and staying charged. When I got it working, there was an update to iOS27 to fix bug issues. So Apple must be aware of it needing to be fixed.
I tried it and once it died again it was at the same point and took overnight to charge.
the issue also seems to be worse if you let it die twice
I don't let my batteries die, not good for them. Someone else who does, will have to answer that question.
You should not let your batteries reach zero, it is not good for them.
I understand that’s not good practice but at my work I can not control what 600 others charge there ipads
I have two that came in today, already on 27.0.1 that are having the charging problem.
