charging iphone since ios7

Thank you for the helpful suggestion. I will research a work around.

Yes, telling you to Google it was mighty helpful. No way could you have thought to do that by yourself. Why don't you enlighten the rest of Apple Community with these useful workarounds.

Similar problem here. Iphone 4S has always worked really, really well, no hangups. Upgraded, and now there is no lightning symbol to show the phone is charging at all. However, it will charge a little bit, i.e. it went from 8% to 42% over 10 hours. When plugged into the macbook pro, there is no connection with itunes, so syncing, no backup, etc. All OEM chargers in our household either got damaged or lost (kids, pets), and we have brand new Amazon for iphone chargers, none of which are working. Guess it's off to the Apple Store to see if their much more expensive chargers work.

This isn't really an isolated issue, more links if you want but I got tired of pasting them. Each of those threads has multiple complainst about the same thing.

My Wifes iphone 4S will not charge with any of the three genuine chargers we have. We don't have anything but genuine chargers so not a third party issue. Something in the IOS upgrade has messed badly with ability to charge the device.

Worked fine up until IOS 7 upgrade, Now will not charge at all. Little lightning bolt comes on, goes off, comes on, goes off . . . can't even build enough charge through a wall socket or USB Cable to do a reset. Looks like I might have to get her a different phone, majot PITA.

Did you restore the iOS as already suggested?

iTunes: Restoring iOS software

This is nothing new, Reported after every iOS update - not specific to iOS 7. Here are just a few.

iPhone 4 won't charge after iOS 4.3.2...: Apple Support Communities

iPhone 4S Not Charging After iOS 6.0.1...: Apple Support Communities

Why won't my iPhone 4 charge after I...: Apple Support Communities

iphone 4 is not charging after update...: Apple Support Communities

I have three chargers; a non-apple lighter charger for my car, a non-Apple USB charger from Walgreens and an Apple USB charger - all that I use in different places. Since the upgrade the non-apple car charger and that actual Apple USB cord no longer work. My non-Apple USB one does though. It's possible the other two kicked off at the same time, but it would be quite a coincidence. Today I tried a brand new Apple USB charger and at first it didn't work, so I shut it down, restarted it, and after plugging and unplugging a few times it finally took. It's frustrating and I'm glad I'm not the only one.

oh mine, original or not, usb cables, all work from wall unit. its when charging thru laptop only the original works.

Update: Techs couldn't get it to work any better at the Apple store either. The phone is 16 months old and has to be replaced, which s^cks because contract is up in 3 months and was going to get a 5S then.

So it sounds like these are not isolated issues for this update AND Apple continues to allow this problem to go on after every update? That's a high quality product and reliable customer service for you.

No, these are extremely rare update glitches which can never be totally eliminated by any manufaturor and are easily fixed with restoring the phone.

What this does "sound like" is that you and the "other" posters in this thread (who more and more appear to share the same liver), are here only to troll. None of you has attempted to do the necessary steps to deal with it, ignoring and dismissing recommendations to restore. It's obvious this is a troll-nest to bash Apple. For your sake, I hope that you are well paid to do so.

I have in iphone 5 and upgraded to iOS7 without a problem...

However today my wife upgraded her iphone 5 to iOS 7, and is not charging... actually the battery now ran out, and Im not even able to reset or restore it, tried the 4 different Lightning cables and AC adapters, all original, and even tried plugging directly to the USB port in my Mac, but also not chargning...

So the battery is no longer charging, after the update... Is there any way to solve this, if the iPhone is not even powered on, since is not able to charge?

iOS 7.0.2 here and iPhone 5 64 GB A1429

Since the last update my non Apple USB carcharger with non Apple lightning cable doesn't work anymore. It worked flawless under ios6.

It's not a broken cable because it does charge when the phone is completely switched off, it then charges the phone until 5% which switches on automatically and -being awake- refuses to charge,drains the battery while on charge, switches off and... Starts charging again (without the thunderbolt sign, but it does charge)

Software charging management in iOS7 really seems an issue here,

Since the 'tricks' described before elsewhere worked first for this cable there might be some active logging in operation too which denies the cable(chip) access to charging management.

It's annoying and if only Apple was not charging ultra high prices for a cable not worth more than 5 dollar retail. I'd just buy the Apple Part. For Thunderbolt I understand the pricing here it's ridiculous since the cables are fragile, have no lifetime/extended warranty and are way overpriced considering their production costs.

I agree. There shouldn't be "tricks". There shouldn't be "re-sets" that wipe out the phone. It should just work. I've tried tricks and found them to be temporary and inefficient.

iphone 5 ios 7.0.2, same issue, no symbol for fully charged. but no slow charge problem.

this no symbol issues are really problematic as i really take care of my battery to avoid overcharged. hoping that sowehow apple upcoming update fix this but there is anyone got hint how to know how the battery is fully charged?

This lack of charging is absolutely a new "feature" in iOS 7 (non beta). Our inexpensive, non-Apple cables work fine with iOS 6 and iOS 7 (beta) devices. I run an app development company and we have devices running iOS back to 4.2, and cables that are both Apple and non-Apple. So this was easy for me to test.

An iPhone 5 that was on iOS 6 was charging fine on a non-OEM cable. We upgraded it yesterday and it will not charge on anything but the cable that came with it. Yes, it is the same cable (when you have 100+ phones/tablets in your lab, you label everything.) I have also verified a brand new iPhone 5c charges fine on the cable Apple supplied, but refuses to charge on non-Apple cables.
