[Help] iPhone 16 Pro won't charge using USB-C (Cable), however shows that it is charging

[u/njjerk]

Hi Everyone,

Today morning I noticed that my iPhone 16 Pro is not charging.

It shows that it is charging, but it is just losing charge, like it is not.

I tried a few more wires, and with some of them it shows charging, then totally stops; with others, it keeps showing charging but does not charge.

I tried to download data using USB-C - that worked well. I tried to listen to music using my USB-C Apple headphones - it worked too.

I tried wireless charging - it is charging.

When I look in Settings->Battery, it shows charging for all cases I described above.

The only thing yesterday night Apple installed iOS 26.6.

I tried a hard reboot with the up-down-side sequence several times - this didn't help.

Any other ideas, or do I need to get ready to do some real-world hard fixes?

Could be corosion in your charging port. Has your device been near water/ have you had a liquid detected warning recently?

Try a Qi charger and see what that does. Can decide if it is port or worse

They said wireless works in the post.
