iPhone acts odd, crazy, touch screen, random behavior, while charging

I was just pulling my hair out trying to reply to an Amazon survey and noticed the same issue. When I Googled the issue and came across this post I noticed my phone was in fact plugged it. As soon as I unplugged the phone it started to behave normally again. Thanks a bunch for posting this issue as it just saved me from pulling the rest of my hair out. Seems that the budget charger block I got from the neighborhood Walgreens isn't Apple Compliant. Who would have guessed.

Even a certified cable can cause problems if it has been damaged. I had a perfectly good Belkin, MFI certified car charger that started causing problems after I'd accidentally shut it in the car door and damaged it.

FYI -

Brand new two day old iPhone SE with leather case from Apple Store and charger is the lightening cord provided in box. Using iPhone on charger with leather case on and the screen acts oddly. Disconnect charger leaving case on and problem goes away but at times screen acts up when in its leather case and NOT charging. When I remove the case it returns to perfect operation. iPhone SE with no case on and charging on lightening charger provided from box and the screen can be counted on to act screwy too. Remove charger and iPhone once again acts fine. Problem has occurd while iPhone SE was charging on the lightening while plugged into MacBook Pro and when lightening cord was plugged into USB connection on night stand lamp base, and in 2015 BMW USB charger slot in car. Battery level has indicated anything from 23%, to 60% and even at 100% when screen problems occurred while charging and doesn't seem to be a cooralation. Apple Store employee acted like I was complaining about a new problem stating he hadn't heard of any problems like this before. I told him to read the internet and specifically the Apple forums. There's a problem! I purchased this iPhone SE to replace a lost/stolen iPhone two days ago in the hopes of buying the NEW iPhone 10(?) when it comes out this fall. Frustrating Issue Indeed!! I hope my experience helps you.

If you read the post you responded to the OP solved it by stopping using a 3rd party charger ,now what a surprise

So they did not expect to get "any answer "

For me it only happens with one specific charger and I am sure it is a Genuine Apple one

Then that charger is probably bad.

Yes, it can certainly be rather disconcerting.

It's funny that so many people think everyone has a "local" Apple Store. :-)

I have to drive 2.5 hours one way just to get to the closest one.

Apple also does service by mail. If you purchased a phone from a carrier, they may also provide assistance.

thanks for the reply, and I did go into some of Finch's posts. Some great information in here, it absolutely helps me next time I go talk to the genius bar. Thanks.

Lawrence is incredibly knowledgable. I've learned an enormous amount from him. These forums can be an amazing source of information.

Best of luck.

Mine is doing the same thing. Any answers?

What was the advice about the iPhone 6 going crazy?

How do we find Lawrence?

I am having these issues with the iPhone 6 going crazy. I am using the charger that came with the phone. The only thing new was a recent update. Was there any other advice?
