The iPhone 15 brings powerful performance and a refreshed design—but like any smartphone, it’s not immune to charging issues. If your iPhone 15 suddenly won’t charge, charges slowly, or only charges at a certain angle, you’re not the only one facing this frustrating problem.
This guide covers the most common reasons your iPhone 15 may be experiencing charger problems—and what you can do about it.
Common iPhone 15 Charging Problems We See
Charging issues on the iPhone 15 generally fall into a few categories:
- iPhone doesn’t recognize the charger at all
- Charges intermittently or only when the cable is held a certain way
- Shows “Not Charging” even when plugged in
- Charging extremely slowly despite using an original adapter
- Heats up while charging, then stops
Understanding the cause is key to solving it—let’s explore possible reasons.
Why Your iPhone 15 Might Not Be Charging Properly
1. Dirty or Blocked Charging Port
One of the most overlooked causes is lint, dust, or grime blocking the port. Even a tiny obstruction can prevent the charger from connecting properly.
Quick Tip: Use a flashlight to check the port. Don’t use sharp objects—gently clean it using a soft brush or compressed air.
2. Faulty Cable or Adapter
If you’re using a third-party charger, or even an older Apple cable, wear and tear can cause inconsistent charging.
Solution: Try a different cable and adapter—preferably Apple-certified. If wireless charging works but wired doesn’t, the cable or port may be at fault.
3. USB-C Port Malfunction (New to iPhone 15)
The iPhone 15 series now uses USB-C. While more versatile, it’s also more delicate than previous Lightning ports. If the port is damaged, loose, or bent internally, it might not recognize any cable.
4. Software Glitch
A bug in iOS can sometimes cause charging recognition issues.
Try this:
- Restart the iPhone
- Update iOS to the latest version
- Reset all settings (Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone)
5. Hardware Damage
If your phone recently took a fall or got wet, internal damage to the charging port or power IC (integrated circuit) could be the culprit.
