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.

iPhone SE, iOS 27

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.

I am also have iphone SE 2020 and when I am plugging in charger it start charging for 2-3 second then stop charging and I need to unplug and replug at least 4-5 times sometimes 15-20 times to make charging stable. This issue started occuring after ios 27 update before ios update I have not faced any such issue. I tried changing data cable as well as charger adapter but same issue.

I have the same exact issue with the same iPhone model and iOS version, except that mine doesn’t charge from the laptop at all anymore immediately after upgrading. I normally charge the phone from my laptop as I work and only top up later if required but I now always also need a brick and a wall power point to charge. But even that is a pain to get it work sometimes!
