Common issue. The battery software is programmed to need a minimum voltage to support a reboot. If allowed to fall below that minimum it will take a few minutes to charge up before a successful restart.
That's typical, not bug but how modern battery works. When % = 0 and you plug iPhone to powerbank with display (i.e. Anker 737) you see very low like 0.1/0.5 value. Sometimes few minutes, sometimes 10 or more minutes. That feature protects the battery and prevents rapid consumption. In modern batteries, the principle is simple - there is no memory effect, as it used to be, but also it is best to charge often and not to lead to complete and long-term exhaustion of energy.
any idea why it appears to be random? what you said sounds nice, but this is not a consistent issue. happens out of the blue. Ive been charging mine for several hours and it's still a black screen. hard to comprehend how I've never had this happen on any other model, but happens randomly with a brand new 2000$ phone.
This occurs on my watch ultra 2. It dies, I put it on the charger and 30 to 45 minutes later the watch turns back on and charges, has been occurring for me since January of this year. I figured it was something new in the software.
I had this same thing happen with an iPhone 13Pro Max when it was under a year old. Confounded, I scheduled a Genius Bar appointment and took it to the Apple Store (several hours later). The tech rebooted it using the volume up and on buttons on either side. It never happened again.
It doesn’t happen with my air, but it happened with my M2, and happens with my M5 Vision Pro. If I accidentally drain the battery to zero, or to a 30 second countdown before zero, and plug it in before the countdown reaches zero, the Vision Pro will shut down. It takes about seven minutes after plugging in to boot back up. I’m OK with it, and try to plug it in before it shuts down. Also, the three low battery warnings, 20%, 10%, and 30 second warnings, are behind the actual percentage of the battery. The warnings are not calibrated correctly.
Funny - I honestly can't remember the last time time I used a cable with my phone. I even have a silicone 'stopper' to keep the dust out. And yes, I did actually put a magsafe puck in my car (I have wireless car play, but like to charge the phone while commuting).
As a former “Genius”, the anecdote of grabbing a MagSafe charger to troubleshoot may be a nothing burger. Sure there could be an internal notice to test using MagSafe, but it is also SOP if wired charging is appearing not to work to test with wireless charging - regardless of model
All my iPhones take a while to reboot after the battery goes to zero. That said I have invented a new chemical that makes water boil instantly. I call it LSD25. It's also good for teleporting you to the nearest Waffle House.
Makes perfect sense. Once the battery is completely depleted, I would imagine the software engineers wanted nothing that would deplete it again immediately following. Had it been me, I would have n to allowed the startup for at minimum 30 minutes.
I've never once let any of my iPhones completely dye off
Shot in the dark but I assume it’s due to the USB-C port not allowing PD handshake once completely dead, defaulting to no power input or trickle power only. Wireless probably works better since most if not all of charging IC is within the puck and not the phone..? (Please correct me if I’m wrong, my knowledge of charging standards is slim lol)
Without the PD handshake there should at least be 0.1 to 0.15 A (at 5 V => 0.5 to 0.75 W). I don't know if the iPhone charges at all with this low power. At least it would be very slow.
Still, the power should be sufficient to power up the charge controller to enable the PD handshake and to allow higher charging power - if the charger allows the handshake without reconnecting the device. Or Apple forgot to implement it this way.
Whenever I reboot my phone after a software update (Turning it on and off) I get the hello screen and it thinks my phone stolen? Device lock protection? and I have to re-enter My Apple ID and PW or iPhone code then reconnect to my Wi-Fi and it says setting up iPhone it’s weird
This happened to me the other day. This is definitely not the same issue being talked about below with it being dead for a while and taking a moment to come on. This is an extended power off that I also could only rectify with a long MagSafe charge. The issue mentioned below is have it wire charge for a minute or two and it boots back up. I had my phone plugged in for near an hour and nothing until 15mins on a MagSafe charger.
I have a 16pro and have somewhat the opposite problem. If my phone completely dies, my phone will reboot over and over again if I lay it on my magsafe charger. I have to plug my phone into a USB-C charger for it to charge enough to reboot properly.
The solution I found was to do a hard reset. For Iphones, this is volume up, then volume down, then hold power for 10 seconds or so. (Click up, click down, then hold power).
I did this while plugged in to a higher amp charger.
This happened four times to me. I didn’t take it to a repair shop because my device is a US model and they’d have to replace it with a European one. It is very annoying. Sometimes needs an hour to reboot !!
This happens on my iPhone Air often, and it doesn’t appear to be a charging issue. I wish Apple were more transparent when customers report recurring defects like this.
Is it just me or does it seem like this guy shouldn't have an iPhone Air if he is letting his phone run out of battery randomly? Maybe he should have chosen a different iPhone, but he wanted to be cute for some reason.
I learned from a YouTuber who runs a repair shop. It’ll turn back on if you use a laptop charger. Sometimes it’ll take up to an hour but it will turn on. The reason a laptop charger works is because it pushes high charge. After it turns back on you don’t have to keep using a laptop charger. It just helps turn it back on if you let your phone die. Spread the word 🫡
Smart devices have a maximum charging rate and a faster charger won’t change that. What a laptop charger with USB PD can do is charge the device at its maximum rate.
If we are talking about modern usb c chargers, then technically speaking it would not make a difference either way.
To put it simply: Your device communicates with the charger and determines what kind of charging profile to use, to make sure that the device only gets the amount of voltage and ampere it can handle.
So, if you are using a 40 watt or 140 watt charger, if they are built using the same specifications, you should not and realistically can not measure a difference between the two.
Jesus people on Blog's, Reddit's are so miserable. Y’all just need a “UhM AcTUaLlY🤓☝️” moment. Your new iPhone doesn’t wake up when it dies? A laptop charger is proven to wake it back up. That’s my whole point. To tell people incase they don’t know and can potentially save them. “Whoa is that someone trying to give helpful advice. I need to insert myself and try and act smart. He will think it’s so cool. Then Margot Robbie will see and dm me”
They have a bigger problem forthcoming mandated by the EU!! By February 18, 2027, the European Union will require all smartphones, including iPhones, to have user-accessible batteries that can be removed and replaced with basic tools.
That is full cycles, not charges. If you charge your phone everyday, it needs to remain above 80% health for about 5.5 years(that is if you use 50% battery every day) and have water proofing.
Which they do. I’m at 173 cycles and 100% still - less than a year old.
And I’m not nice to my battery at all. If you’re only charging between 40-90% it will last even longer.
Anyway the whole replaceable battery thing is just being way overblown. Your not gonna get a clip out battery like on a Razr. It’s going to be slightly less adhesive and a small screwdriver in the box - if the phone isn’t exempt.
To add to your point, battery capacity drops the most when it’s new, then flattens out over time. The fact that we’re at 170cyl and still 100%, it’s a good projection that we will be above 80% on 800cyl.
Unless Apple does some funny number trickery on the batt health%, then we gonna have another -gate.
The woman hater Tim Cook already confirmed that Apple will not agree to consent to those laws and will still continue to make a phones that destroys your life if it needs a replacement battery. He is continuing to destroy our lives when our phone needs a new battery because he doesn’t be allowing it to be replaced. The Apple Store cracked my screen, trying to replace the none user replaceable batteries and then just told me to fuck off. They wouldn’t give me a new screen, even though they broke it. This is woman hater Tim Cook’s plan.
It’s a long standing bug, I’ve brought dozens of Xr units back when I thought they were bricked by using a Qi charger. I’m honestly surprised that it hasn’t been talked about until now.
Again? Apple has old ipads that if they where totally discharged, the wont turn back on as they would try to boot up before they had enough charge, and run dry mid cycle..
Common issue. The battery software is programmed to need a minimum voltage to support a reboot. If allowed to fall below that minimum it will take a few minutes to charge up before a successful restart.
ReplyDeleteDuh. I could’ve sworn this was common knowledge. If the battery is completely drained it has to get to a certain level in order to reboot
DeleteApparently not
DeleteSo would this work on a normal wired charger as well (after 15 minutes)?
DeleteShould work
DeleteThat's typical, not bug but how modern battery works. When % = 0 and you plug iPhone to powerbank with display (i.e. Anker 737) you see very low like 0.1/0.5 value.

ReplyDeletePlugging it to a high power charger, like a MacBook Pro charger, for 10-20 minutes will also bring it back to life.
ReplyDeleteIt's never happened to me once. That's because I use an Android Motorola to be more precise.

It doesn’t help. Only having it plug for an hour it did
Deletehappened to me twice with my iPhone 17 pro. once in November and again yesterday. both times it revived after almost 1 hour of being plugged.
ReplyDeleteThis happened four times to me. I didn’t take it to a repair shop because my device is a US model and they’d have to replace it with a European one. It is very annoying. Sometimes needs an hour to reboot !!

ReplyDeleteI'm having this issue now. the geniuses at apple really outdid themselves on this one. looking forward to never getting an apple product again.
ReplyDeleteHey Tom, et al. Maybe get an iPhone Air and experience the defect.

Deletei mean, the article says magsafe fixes it in 15 minutes, that seems a bit easier.
Deletegranted not everyone has a magsafe charger but not everyone has a laptop charger either
I gotta believe more people have a laptop than an iPhone MagSafe charger lol

DeleteCan‘t let people get away with their snake oil solutions. If you believe that, good for you, doesn’t mean it’s true.
Just because you saw some guy on the internet talk about it, doesn’t make it true. That is some dangerous half truth right there.
I could go into detail, but sorry, Margot Robbie is calling, brb!
No seriously, who the fuck is that?
Just be concise and accurate…
DeleteA MagSafe puck or any USBC charger that delivers 15V should get it unbricked.
What’s so hard
when you say laptop charger, do you include the mac charging brick? or non apple ones?
DeleteMagSafe chargers fix it
ReplyDeleteThey have a bigger problem forthcoming mandated by the EU!! By February 18, 2027, the European Union will require all smartphones, including iPhones, to have user-accessible batteries that can be removed and replaced with basic tools.
ReplyDeleteYeah unless it has an IP rating or can do 800 cycles and maintain 80% life - both apply to the iPhone.
DeleteIt’s also pretty much user replaceable already.
Not much of a problem.
That is full cycles, not charges. If you charge your phone everyday, it needs to remain above 80% health for about 5.5 years(that is if you use 50% battery every day) and have water proofing.

They could just be over-provisioning the battery and claiming less. Easy to hide the battery capacity drop when 100% is actually 80% or whatever.
DeleteYeah the battery replacement is like one of the easiest things to do.
Delete84% 1010 full cycle iPhone 15 pro max lol so yeah it’s far above that

Apple is exempt from that though because their battery stay above 80% battery health after 1000 cycles.

ReplyDeleteThat wasn’t the issue. Read the article.
DeleteIt’s a bug and I’ve read Apple is working on a fix. They turn on if you use a wireless charger, then the port works again.
