Behold, wireless charging, a delightful realm where iPhones bask in the warm glow of replenishment without the pesky entanglement of cords. Yet, alas, troubles doth often plague our iPhone users as they strive to charge their devices wirelessly. Forsooth, the phone may stubbornly refuse to imbibe the energy it so desperately seeks, displaying naught but the charging icon, or worse, it may turn a blind eye to the wireless pad altogether.
Many a user doth lament the incessant dance of connection and disconnection betwixt phone and charger, a tumultuous affair that may bring more harm than healing. Fret not, dear reader, for I come bearing tidings of simple remedies to rekindle the spark of charging within thy iPhone:
1. Seek a New Position and Shed Thy Phone’s Case
The sacred alignment of charging coils betwixt iPhone and wireless pad must be maintained for the charging magic to ensue. E’en more so if thou pair a modern iPhone with an elder wireless charger. To this end, try these maneuvers:
– Move thy iPhone in a clockwise fashion upon the pad until the dulcet tones of charging bless thine ears.
– Allow thy iPhone to descend unto the wireless charger from a height not exceeding 1.5 inches.
Furthermore, ponder the removal of thy phone’s case, especially if ’tis of a sturdy thickness, for it may thwart the wireless charging communion. Hence, strip thy device of its casing ere placing it upon the charging pad.
2. Let Thy iPhone Cool and Purge the Charging Pad
Should thine iPhone emit warmth, perchance wireless charging might be hindered. Thus, grant thy device respite to cool ere returning it to the pad. Moreover, contemplate the cleanliness of the charging pad, for dust and dirt may interlope and disrupt the flow of energy. Enlist a gentle, lint-free cloth, moistened slightly, to cleanse its surface and banish visible impurities. Once purged, endeavor once more to charge thy device and witness if harmony is restored.
3. Pinpoint the Offender
Anon, discern whether ’tis thy iPhone or the wireless charger that bears the blame. Undertake these steps to unravel the mystery:
– Employ the wireless charger to power another device, discerning if the charger be at fault.
– Charge thy iPhone with a diverse wireless charger, perhaps on loan from kith or kin, to assess if thine iPhone accepteth the offering of charge.
4. Reboot Thy iPhone
At times, a vexing bug within iOS may obstruct the path to wireless charging enlightenment. Many a software quandary can be vanquished with a mere restart. Unlike its Android brethren, an iPhone offers no restart button, thus thou must manually power it off and on. Fear not, for the process is straightforward, even if thy device’s buttons be frail.
5. Disable Optimized Battery Charging
Occasionally, wireless charging may stall if the nefarious Optimized Battery Charging feature is enabled. This iOS trait, in its wisdom, moderates the pace of charging past 80%, aiming to prolong the battery’s vitality. Should thy iPhone perchance stall at 80%, disable this attribute temporarily to resume the flow of charge:
– Venture into the realm of Settings within thy iPhone.
– Journey to Battery > Battery Health & Charging.
– Toggle off the sly Optimized Battery Charging.
Lo and behold, as thy iPhone now exceeds the ethereal 80% threshold, should the Optimized Battery Charging indeed prove to be the miscreant.
6. Update Thy iPhone
Apple, in its benevolence, doth proffer software updates to mend the ailings of iOS. Verily, wireless charging woes may well stem from the antiquity of thy phone’s software. Embark upon the journey to Settings > General > Software Update to bestow upon thy device the latest iOS garment. Should an update be found, tap Download and Install, mayhap requirin’ thy passcode to initiate the transformation.
7. Restore Thy iPhone
As a dernier resort, thou canst restore thy iPhone to factory settings. Attend, dear reader, to the imperative task of backing up thy iPhone ere thine embark upon this purgative journey, for a factory reset shall expunge all memories and configurations from thy device:
– Traverse to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone.
– Elect Erase All Content and Settings.
– Tread the path of Continue to affirm, imparting thy device passcode when summoned.
Wirelessly shalt thou charge thy iPhone once more, banishing the specter of powerlessness. Yet if fortune still eludes thee after this endeavor, seek the wise counsel and artisanal ministrations of Apple Support, or venture to a nearby Apple emporium for succor.
