iPhone XS iPhone Xs Chargegate is real - Terrible

[cornerexit]

Pretty much the typical things that show up early on almost every year. And yet down the road most still have devices that work fine for them.

You can be dismissive if you want. Unfortunately this isn’t like years past. This is a thousand + dollar device. Many of us don’t rent our phones nor dismissively charge things and rack up debt. I’m glad I didn’t buy one. If I did I’d take it back. Apple needs to learn, the hard way.

Pointing out reality isn't being dismissive, just being realistic.

You can try to dramatize this. But there is nothing new going on here.

I've owned apple products for 20+ years at this point (I got my first Power Mac 6500/275 in 1996) and I've seen Apple about to go out of business, turn into a trillion dollar company, and piss off "professionals" (really, arm chair engineers and nerds).

The first iPhone was a wreck. I had my handset replaced 12 times. I know other people who have similar stories. I loved that thing though. You can't tell me this is worse then that. Occasionally new products have problems. Look at the new MacBooks Pros, which are even more expensive then this phone. The price doesn't matter though really, Apple will make this right. And you can always just bring the phone back.

I'm not sure what your endgame is here. You can't even claim to be an enraged consumer, you didn't even buy the phone. Posting angrily on a forum is beyond pointless.

It's Saturday night, pour yourself a glass of your favorite poison and relax man.

But but but it’s a thousand dollar phone every single device is supposed to be perfect.

This is a scandal. The English language evolves. Get over it.

Have you been to the Watergate? It's got lots of water in the courtyard, and a nice view of lots of water in the Potomac, which is very close to it.

It could have just as easily been a Four Seasons. Then what? Charge Seasons?

That's not how history work out.

This is:

To really determine if this is an issue. Go to settings->face id & passcode(key in your passcode)->toggle on the usb accessories and see if it solves the issue. I have seen people having no problems after enabling that option (myself included). If it still gives you issues, then something might be wrong. Before you freak out and think that your phone is spoilt, try this and see what happens. Apple had that option off by default.

I’m happy I have forced myself to wait few weeks before buying the Xs Max.

Never rush to be the first one: this is a general rule that I always apply when changing my phone for a new one just released to the market.

Hopefully iOS 12.1 will fix the issues, The I will be happy to go to the Apple store and buy exactly what I want.

That’s circular logic but I did enjoy this part.

The suffix is used to embellish a noun or name to suggest the existence of a far-reaching scandal, particularly in politics and government. As a CBC News column noted in 2001, the term may "suggest unethical behaviour and a cover-up".[4]

Such usages have been criticised by commentators as clichéd and misleading;[5] James Stanyer comments that "revelations are given the 'gate' suffix to add a thin veil of credibility, following 'Watergate', but most bear no resemblance to the painstaking investigation of that particular piece of presidential corruption".[6] Stanyer links the widespread use of -gate to what the sociologist John Thompson calls "scandal syndrome”

it's not just iphone xs, experienced this with iphone 8 plus(red) ios 12.
left the phone idle overnight without charging, wake up this morning to plug in the charger.
notification showed usb accessory not supported, waked up the device and started to charge.

This is true other device on iOS 12 experience it as well but iOS 12.1 beta 1 currently fixes this issue. It’s possible related to USB Accessories timing.

That makes zero sense. I and MANY others have precisely zero issue with our new phones. And you’re saving zero dollars by waiting.

 

[ipos]

found a solution
[doublepost=1538291856][/doublepost]Try turn off (Tap to wake) cos this is a bug

I can confirm this. It happened the odd time with my iPhone 8 as well. It also has happened a few times with my XS. Not every time though. Considering it didn't happen on my iPhone 8 until the USB accessory security feature was implemented, and that it's happened to me on two different models I'm pretty confident it's a software bug so I'm not too concerned. I'm sure it'll get patched soon.

It makes a lot of sense if you are not in a rush to change your phone.

 

[AeroBar]

I haven't bought my Xs yet but I know some people who have and they don't have any charging issues.

Are many people here reporting issues?
[doublepost=1538297680][/doublepost]

So the problem is software? Shouldn't everyone be experiencing the problem so?

Picked up my iPhone XS Max yesterday (IUP upgrade from iPhone 8+) super happy. This morning woke up to nearly dead battery despite plugging in all night. Was like WTH? Googled. Found this. My phone is exactly as described in the video and bit me on day ONE of ownership. Not really happy. Apple needs to sort out a patch soon.

 

[Appl3FTW]

Since I used qi, It never occurred to me. But I just tested last night and thank God my max charges as normal when plugged in.

YAYYYY

Apple will respond and is likely an iOS related issue that needs to be resolved with an update. They usually act quickly in these situations, but let’s make something known, there is *no* evidence of how widespread this is and how many it’s actually affecting. Plenty of members in here Have had no issues with their iPhone XS at all with charging.

 

[Appl3FTW]

Solution: get with the future and buy a wireless charger.

If only these people could charge their phones up enough to apply the update

You must have accidentally omitted this part of my quote from my post. I re-inserted it for you below.

That definitely is _not_ a solution. Thats Called a *workaround*. A real solution would be actually addressing the concern with an iOS update, If Thats what is necessary.

... But if we are running into issues like this, it's just not fair on us - we pay for their big houses, cars and holidays.

What a redicilious statement. It’s totally off topic when it comes to QC.

Anyone can be a shareholder and be part of the success.

Of course it’s sad that there’s some bugs with the new phone, but relax, it will be fixed soon.

Don’t throw ridicilious arguments in a good topic.

Buy some shares and be part of the success.

 

[apolloa]

Wow, so they don’t get mobile or WiFi signals, and now they don’t charge up.. hmm these seem pretty widespread faults. Hard to believe they didn’t know about them before shipping the phones?

 

[Diorama]

no issues with my ipad.......These new iphones are trash.

lol. Your iPad is a piece of junk.
