4 Problems When Charging
Over the last few days, a number of iPhone XS and XS Max owners reported issues getting their new devices to charge properly when plugged into a wall adapter with a Lightning cable.
The device will either fail to charge until woken up, or it might not charge at all. Though it’s not clear how widespread the issue actually is, it does not appear to affect all iPhone XS or XS Max devices. But it became certainly the center of media attention late last week.
It’s becoming clear that this is a software bug and will be patched when iOS 12.1 drops. In the meantime you can try:
- Using a different Lightning cable or Qi charger..
- Tapping it to wake once it’s been plugged in..
- And/or restarting your iPhone.
