If your iPhone isn't charging, it doesn't necessarily mean that the battery is no longer working. There could be several other reasons causing this issue. Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot:


  1. Check your power source: Ensure that you've properly connected your device to a power source. This could be a wall power outlet, a computer USB port that's on and not in sleep mode, or a powered USB hub, docking station, or other Apple-certified accessory​.
  2. Inspect the charging cable and adapter: Check your charging cable and USB adapter for any signs of damage, such as breakage or bent prongs. Avoid using damaged accessories​. Try a different cable.
  3. Check the charging port on your device: 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 might need service​.
  4. Let your device charge: Allow your device to charge for a half-hour. If it's still unresponsive, try force restarting it. Then, let it charge for another half-hour. If your device still won't power on or charge, consider taking your device, charging cable, and charging adapter to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for evaluation​.
  5. Check for software issues: Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS. If an alert says that your accessory isn't supported or certified, this might mean that your device has a dirty or damaged charging port, your charging accessory is defective or isn't Apple-certified, or your USB charger isn't designed to charge devices​.
  6. Look for charging indicators: When your device charges, a lightning bolt should appear inside the battery icon in the status bar, or a large battery icon should appear on your Lock Screen​.


If your device stops charging at 80 percent, it could be due to the battery getting too warm, in which case software might limit charging above 80 percent. Your iPhone should charge again when the temperature drops. Also, iOS 13 and later use Optimized Battery Charging to slow the rate of battery aging by reducing the time that your iPhone spends fully charged​​.
