Correct.

As soon as I power down the device, and let the charger wake the phone - it charges properly.

I’ve had this happen intermittently once or twice before.

Edit: No it doesn’t get hot during charging, sometimes after extended use while doing intensive processes it gets warm.

If it’s not charging it’s probably not software, I’m afraid. Does the device get very hot?

The battery may be defective. Talk directly to Apple support.

Edit: I see it charged properly just a few hours prior. Is that right?

My wife has a 12Pro and she has better battery life, but other than that she hasn't noticed anything.

Fair point, I did equate plugged in to charging.

Thing is - I am using the Apple USB C charger with an an Apple C to Lightning cable.

Once the phone shut down, I plugged it in without starting it up first - obviously it started up once battery was sufficient and it seems the issue has gone away.

No to water contact, phone is barely a month old and I’ve babied it.

I’m suspecting a software bug of some sort, but not sure.

That doesn’t actually mean “charging”, just “plugged in”. Which 99% times means the same. But it could mean you are getting very low power. This could be from the wire or the charger.

This is common on iPads pro, when working hard and plugged in using not optimal charger.

Also, it happens with any device connected to a low power USB from a computer.

What charger are you using? Have your device been in contact with water prior to the charge?

Brilliant! - Could you please share the JPG used for this wallpaper!?

Don’t worry man, I found this funny

On my 14 Pro.

Search for an app called Dynamic Notch. There’s a few on there.

Wow! That’s weird indeed. Have you tried restarting to see if it still appears?

I believe the only data settings you can get for iPhones are 3G and then LTE which is 4G and then 5G which is usually more expensive but faster and reaches more spots.

It’s supposed to be satire. I thought it was pretty obvious because of how stupid the advice I gave was, but apparently not.

It’s been on android for years

Just wondering what this photo has to do with your question?

Google it. Ifixit has instructionals.

The more I think about the more I think it’s the amount of streaming with AirPods and car play I do. Hence why I have high screen idle time.

It’s pending because the phone hasn’t been turned on and Apple can’t connect to it. When/if it connects to it lost mode will update.

The only sound it will recognize are smoke/carbon monoxide detector alarms unfortunately.

A termite walks into the bar and asks, ‘Is the bar tender here?’

It definitely likes a dad joke

Had it charging twice, first time I thought it was charging but realized it wasn’t actually going up - so I restarted my phone and plugged it in overnight.

Woke up this morning to use my phone and it dies on me.

Once plugged in while turned off, that’s when it finally started charging normally.

Anyone else experience this?

Graph shows charging but % doesn’t increase.

How do I open it? Pardon my inexperience.

It is still locked until you remove it

At the moment, yeah - over the years it's been generally trending upwards, with every other generation gaining a year up to the 5. It's been a little less predictable lately, but still trending up - 5s and 7 got six years, 6 got five years, and 6s got seven years. Remains to be seen whether they'll keep going up in future - I wouldn't be shocked to see the A11 devices dropped this year, which would put them at six years, given how many features they've been left out of over the past few releases.

But also worth noting is the 5s and up are still getting security updates, which is pretty exceptional. That's over nine years of at least some support at this point.

Open it up asap. The longer you leave it the worse it will get. Pools are mostly salt water which will corrode parts.

Have you tried a) updating to iOS 16.3 and b) actually rebooting the phone?
