Overheating

There’s probably been a time when you’ve touched iPhone and it feels hot- this is a classic sign of overheating. When this happens it’s rare that you’ll notice any difference in the performance of your device, but other times you might – charging issues for example. 

According to Apple if your battery gets too warm, iOS might limit it from charging above 80% until your iPhone cools down. So the solution for this one is just a waiting game.

Faulty iPhone Charging Cable

You shouldn’t have to bend your lightning cable at a certain angle for your device to charge properly. If this is the case this means your wire is probably on its way out. 

Buy yourself a brand-new lightning cable! Lucky for you we sell these at an affordable price on our site! You can also defeat this tech issue by opting for a wireless charger instead. 

Software Issues 

When there’s iOS update after iOS update sometimes we can lose track, and our software ends up becoming outdated. This can have a bigger impact than you expect, as it can actually interfere with the charging ability of your device.

 If you’re experiencing charging issues, check to see if there’s an update you might have missed. If there is, update your device and try charging again.
