Mophie stopped working after iOS 9 update

Umm, if you guys even did a cursory google search about this problem, you’d see that it is very common right after some of the recent updates. So, it is in fact a software issue on Apple’s end. Some speculate that it is actually by design, because the Mophie case phenomenon was interfering with the planned obsolescence cycle of the iPhone, and getting people to hold onto their existing phones longer, hurting profits.

I read the whole thread, and I can honestly say I’ve never seen a more condescending, smug group of charlatans, who actually know very little. Maybe next time, only respond if you have anything of actual substance to add to the discussion, rather than knee-jerk assumptions without any real thought.

I can also do a google search about people being abducted by aliens. It turns out it's pretty common. I've been using mophie charging cases since my iPhone 5, if I recall. I've never had a problem. I've had the current case on my iPhone 7+ since well before iOS 11 and it continues to work just fine. And, in the ten years or so that the major U.S. cellular carrier for whom I worked doing, among other things, front line customer technical support, I never observed this as a common problem.

I don't know what "the Mophie case phenomenon was interfering with the planned obsolescence cycle" means.

Thank you for your kind words and appreciation of the hard work volunteers do in this forum.

Best of luck.

This message often occurs when there is dust or lint in the phone's charging port. Clean it with some compressed air and try the Mophie again.

yeah, contact Mophie. It's their device.

Good luck with that attitude.

You think your replies have been friendly?

It also helps to post what solutions you've already tried (such as your cleaning out the charging port) so people don't have to waste their time and suggest things you've already tried.

I will make a point of that next time have a question. But the fact that I didn't is no reason to respond rudely. And way to change your original rude response to save face.

Wrong again. He did change it. If you read it carefully you will noticed that it was the Host who edited it.

You are welcome
