Q: iPhone 6 taking forever to charge

My iPhone took nearly the whole day to charge the past few days. I've been using all the techniques suggested to speed up the process (airplane mode, low power mode, night shift, iPad adapter, quitting all apps, lowering brightness). When it was at 70% it took 4 hours to get to 75%. This wasn't an issue before.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.2

    Greetings champagneroxy,

     

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. From your post, it looks like your phone is taking a lot longer than normal to charge. I’ll be happy to see what I can do to help.

     

     

    The things you’ve done to help speed up the charging were great. Take a look at this informative article to see if these steps are helpful: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't charge - Apple Support

     

     

     

    If your device won’t charge or charges slowly

    If you have very low battery and plug into power, a black screen or a black screen with a red battery might appear for a few minutes. Follow these steps and try again after each:

    1. Check your charging cable and USB adapter for signs of damage,* like breakage or bent prongs. Don't use damaged accessories.

    2. Use a wall power outlet and check for firm connections between your charging cable, USB wall adapter, and wall outlet, or try a different outlet. 
    3. Remove any debris from the charging port on the bottom of your device, then firmly plug your charging cable into your device. If the charging port is damaged, your device probably needs service.

    4. Let your device charge for a half hour (If your device is unresponsive afterward, learn what to do).
    5. Force restart your device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo. Then let your device charge for another half hour.
    6. If your device still won’t power on or charge, take your device, charging cable, and charging adapter to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for evaluation. You can also contact Apple Support.

    *If you're unsure about whether an accessory is damaged, take it to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for evaluation, or contact Apple Support.

     

     

    Have a wonder rest of your day.
