iPhone charging issue after iOS 27 update

My SE 2nd gen had this problem after recent IOS 27 upgrade. Battery Max capacity 88%. I had a spare charge cable with 12V plug which did not fix the problem; tried brand new cable with house plug which did not fix the problem. Updated to IOS 27.2 which fixed the problem.

Sorunun tıpa tıp aynısını yaşıyorum. Yorumlarda pil sağlığı vs. yorumlara aldırış etme. iOS 27 Türkiyede kullanıma sunulduğu gün kullanmaya başladım ve sorun o andan itibaren başladı. Kendim türkiyede Apple Özel Teknik Servisliği yapıyorum. Orjinal pilim 87’ydi, pili değiştirdim. Düzelmedi. Sonrasında başka Teknik Servis arkadaşlarla görüştüm. Bazıları Şarj Soketi arızalı dedi. Bazılarıda Anakart / Şarj Entegresi Arızası dedi. Herkes yazılımsal olması imkansız dedi. Sonrasında İtunes üzerinden İos 26 ya düşürdüm. Sorun düzeldi. Ondan sonra tekrar İos 27 ye güncelledim. Sorun tekrar ortaya çıkınca tekrar sürümü düşürdüm. Ancak bir gece uyurken telefonum otomatik olarak kendiliğinden İos 27.0.1 e yükselmiş. Ve sabaha kadar şarjım hiç dolmamıştı. Tekrar sürümü düşürmek istedim fakat İOS 26’ı için  desteği kesip imzaları kapattığı için düşüremedim. Düşürenler var ama jailbrek gibi işlemler yapıldığı için güvenilir bir işlem değil. O yüzden yapmadım. Şuanda yeni güncellemelerle düzelmesini bekliyorum. 27.0 ve 27.0.1 de düzelmedi. Umarım Apple bu durumun ciddiyetini farkedip SE için bu düzenlemeyi bir daha ki güncellemede yapar ve bizi bu durumdan kurtarır. Sizede tavsiyem cihazınızı onarıma vermeyin kesinlikle güncellemeyi bekleyin.

I had the Apple Store replace the battery on my iPhone SE 2nd Ed (2020) on 9/13/26 and I updated the operating system to iOS 27 a couple days later. I immediately encountered the same charging issue described here. It charges perfectly normally with any USB-A to Lightning charger, including higher-voltage USB-A fast-charging ports on my computer. But if I plug it into any USB-C to Lightning charger, it charges for exactly three seconds and then drops the connection.

Thinking the issue was a botched battery replacement, I brought it back to the Apple Store for a warranty claim on the battery service. They put in another new battery and ran full diagnostic testing and did a full software reinstall. They found no visual evidence of damage or shorting. They said it is able to accept fast charging through Mag Safe and can charge fine from USB-A, but they confirmed it will not charge from USB-C. They were unable to isolate the cause. The only explanation they could think of was short on the logic board, but they claimed there was no way this could have happened during the battery replacement.

Sounds like I falsely accused them and it was the iOS 27 update all along!

Sounds like your battery is failing. What is the battery health percentage? If it is below 80% it needs to be replaced. The other problem may be the cable itself or the port on your phone. You can have Apple perform diagnostics on your phone for free.

• Contact Apple Support - Apple Support

Not strange at all. iOS 27 is demanding, and your battery was on the verge anyway.

Check your Battery Health settings to see that the things are not "Normal" anymore with your battery.

A new battery will be about $70-80 U.S. at the Apple Store / Genius Bar or an Authorized Apple Service Provider (AASP). The Genius Bar will require reservation. Most other shops will not.

I’m going through the same thing right now. Hopefully this issue gets resolved.

It is either your Battery, whether it has been replaced using third party or showing a poor Health percentage, or like was previously posted a cheap charger/cable that is not MFi certified may be problematic.

It would not be unusual for every iPhone SE 2nd generation to have needed a battery replacement by now and even before the iOS update where it would be showing the Service message in the Battery Settings. It was first released 6 years ago and discontinued 4 years ago where it was only expected to last 500 Charge Cycles before needing the battery replaced.

Some days ago I also complaint here about this issue. I have just installed 27.2 and the problem is fixed. It charges both with fast and slow chargers without problem again. Thank you all for reporting and creating this conversation, I have been very close to buy a new iphone as I was desperate with the charging issue. You have saved me a lot of money :))))))))

I found another work around. If I use an USB-A lightning it charges without any problem if I use an USB-C Lightning it stops when the remaining charging time appears

Try going into settings, battery, turn off percentage. I’ve just done this and it has fixed the issue on my se gen 2.

was not charging through the c charger after latest iOS 27 update.

FİXED AFTER İOS 27.2

Your SE is 4-6 years old depending on when you placed it into service.

The battery in the SE was designed to go 2-3 years with normal use.

You have done extremely well and it is remarkable that you have not had battery issues until now.

The battery is very likely overdue to be replaced.

Yeah, my battery health is below 80% but then it was working perfect until I updated to iOS 27, that very strange.

That is not unusual. Your battery was failing before the update where you also likely have the Service message listed next to the battery telling you it needs replaced. Any additional demands on a failing battery, including those placed on it from an update, is going to have unexpected results.

Think of your car battery, it may be working just fine when driving around in daylight, but once it gets dark and you need to place those additional demands on it or if it gets colder than usual overnight, it may not start in the morning or even hold a charge. Of course it is not because it was dark or cold that caused your battery to fail, it was because it needed to be replaced earlier.

Have this exact issue right after ios 27 update. I also tried different cables but its not about cables. It actually charges but doesnt show the charging animation. If u leave it on charge and restart after a while it shows the real percentage. Also no problem with data transfer. Cables works just fine with data transfer. And it works normally with powerbank too , so it is a software issue that apple ignores for weeks lol. I dont know why it works just fine with powerbank but not with charging brick. I use original brick and cable and many se 2020 user experience this problem. Reminding you this started right after ios 27. It is not a battery issue , its almost brand new. i changed battery like 6 monhts ago. There is many .entries about this on reddit. I just did the last 27.0.1 update hoping it would fix it but its the same. HELP @apple

27.2de düzeldi benimki sonunda. sabah yaptım sorun yok şu ana kadar

I have a SE 2 which has a perfect daily charging history, until updating iOS 27/27.1, whereby battery is not charging when plugged in - my capacity is 89% - i discovered connecting the phone to my MacBook Air works way better - Apple still hasn't corrected the issue, and appears the issue is particular to SE 2 ...
