If your iPhone is no longer charging, there may be a number of reasons for this. But don’t worry: in many cases, the problems can be solved with simple measures.
iPhone is no longer charging: causes and solutions
If your iPhone battery no longer charges, anything is possible, from dust deposits to a more serious defect. Therefore, it is important to first rule out the simplest and most obvious causes before looking at more serious causes. If you cannot fix the problem yourself, contact Apple Support or find a certified repair center.
- Dirty charging port: Dust, lint or other particles in the charging port or connector can prevent the cable from making contact with the device. The connection then has a loose contact or no longer works at all. Use a soft brush or compressed air spray to gently clean the charging port and carefully remove any dirt that has become lodged.
- Defective charging cable or power adapter: It is possible that the cable or adapter is defective. Defective charging equipment can cause your phone to overheat quickly or result in a loose contact. Try another original or certified cable and power adapter. Check for damage to the charging cable or power adapter, such as bent contact pins or even breaks. However, if the iPhone’s connector is damaged, the phone will need to be repaired.
- Software error: A fault in the operating system can cause the iPhone not to charge properly. A restart can fix software problems that prevent charging. Or install the latest iOS version to fix any software bugs.
- Damaged battery: If the problem persists, a defective battery may be the cause. If the battery is defective, it must be replaced. If you are still within the warranty period, you can contact Apple locally at the Apple Store or online. If you are no longer within the warranty period, we recommend that you have the battery replaced by a trusted repair service.
Weitere mögliche Problemherde und Lösungsansätze
In addition to the above-mentioned problems, there are other possible causes of charging difficulties:
- Temperature issues: If the iPhone is too hot or too cold, it may interrupt the charging process for safety reasons. Wait until the device reaches a normal operating temperature. Then try charging the device again.
- Deep discharge: If your iPhone has not been used for months or has been exposed to freezing temperatures for an extended period of time, it may be completely discharged. In this case, patience is required. A deeply discharged battery takes at least half an hour to an hour to reactivate. Once the charging function starts up again, you can charge your iPhone as normal.
- Hard Reset: If your iPhone is not completely discharged but will not charge, you should try a hard reset. To do this, turn off the phone and wait about 30 minutes before turning it back on. It should be connected to the power when restarting. This can fix many minor system errors that can affect the charging function, among other things.
