iPhone 14 Pro Max is charging very slowly after iOS 18 update

My iPhone 14 pro max has been charging very slow since the IOS 18 update. I had it on 4% at 3am and it’s now 10am and has only changed to 80%. As you can see in the photo in orange. Original Apple cable and fast charger.


I tried a few things like closing down app’s and deactivated 80% charging still same thing.



I have also updated to 18.1 same problem.

The newer battery technologies require higher wattage chargers to fast charge. Older iPhones with older batteries will still fast charge with lower wattage chargers. But if you buy a new iPhone, expect to buy new accessories too.


There’s nothing wrong with slow charging and it’s better for the overall life/health of your battery. My older iPhones are still charging fine on their older chargers with iOS 18.X.X
