Charging Issues

[joshuakrey]

Hello. Has anyone else has charging issues recently in your iPhone or iPad? I have the iPhone XS Max and 9.7 iPad and over the past week or so when I plug in my lightening cable, a lot of times it won't start charging. And if I wiggle it may start, but will stop. I've used different cords with similar results.

No problems on my 6s/X/Air2 or Airpods.. Maybe the charging brick?

Perhaps the charging ports on the devices might have something in them (like lint/dust) that is affecting things?

First of all, check the lightning port if there are lint or dust accumulated inside. You can do this by using a toothpick and just pick inside making sure its free of any obstruction. Do not blow into it to avoid saliva induced damage.

Next thing you do is to use a completely different and known working charger. Not just the cable but a completely different charger (plug and cable). If that still does not charge your device, have your phone checked by an Apple tech or a local tech as this probably means that the charging port of your device is faulty.

Have you tried other sources of power as well? I have had to use a toothpick to clean lint and dirt out of the lightening port before. It's unlikely two devices would have the same issue simultaneously though.

I started having issues after the latest update. After the update I would see the "not charging" message while the power plugged into my iPad mini. I tried 2 other cables, and the wall charger from my other iPad (which does charge fine) and still no luck. I borrowed my son's fast charger power brick and it worked fine. Not sure why, but here is the adapter I am using that is working for me.

My friend is having charging issues with her XS MAX as well. Apple genius said the problem was her cords. After she spent a small fortune buying new chords from Apple she still having the problem.
