iPhone charging issue after iOS 27 update

I own an iPhone SE 2nd generation. Since I updated to iOS 27, my iPhone won't get a stable charge unless the cable is disconnected 4-5 times. The moment I plug it; the charging starts momentarily and then stops. But after 4-5 times (sometimes less), the charging will become stable. I have retried with different sockets, different charging methods, but no difference. This is an annoying experience, and I am looking for help to resolve this issue.

I have a similar issue on iPhone SE2 iOS 27.0.1.

When charging via USB‑C PD fast charger, the hardware charges normally, but the system UI fails to refresh: no lightning icon in status bar, lock screen battery percentage stays frozen. The real battery level only updates after reboot.

I have the same problem with an iPad 9th Gen that has a newer battery, it charged perfectly before the latest iOS 27 update. Now after the 27.0.1 update it won’t wake up from a discharged battery to charge.

I am also having Exactly same problem. Today morning I updated my iPhone 14pro to iOS27 and after that my iPhone is not charging when I plugged in it gets charge and quickly not charging. This issue is only iOS 27 and right I am regretting to get an iPhone and also update to iOS 27.

Right now I am so frustrated and my work got stucked, what to do now I don’t know and when apple gives us new software update to fix this problem
