iPhone XS Max battery cannot charge after upgraded to iOS 18.3.1

My iphone xs max with pervious ios has no issue for 6 years long but after upgraded to ios 18.3.1, it cannot charge the battery on SAME official apple lightening cable and official apple charger.


HOWEVER, it can charge the battery when phone is power off and auto restart from plugging into the charger.


regarding the battery charging optimazation was already off but did not help anything.


the firmware team should be responsible for this. Even i can consider buy a new phone but this phone should not end like this. Please provide a fix asap.

Hello, there’s been a lot of people with this issue. It could be due to the SIM card in your phone. Take the phone to your local store, they should have a solution.

With 2 billion iPhones in use, no matter what problem you have a lot of people will have it. That is not useful information. 99% of the time this specific problem is a failing battery.

hello tim. May i please have your reason why it is related to the sim card ? I want to fix this issue. It is really irritating.

It is NOT related to the SIM card. SIM cards use no energy; their only purpose is to connect your phone’s IMEI with your phone number in your carrier’s network. Somethings amazing nonsense is posted in forums.
