Some iPhone XS, XS Max Devices Are Experiencing Charging Issues (theverge.com)

Poor cellular reception doesn't appear to be the only issue affecting some new iPhone XS and XS Max owners. "Dozens of users have reported charging issues with their iPhone XS and XS Max devices, and shared their experiences on the MacRumors forums and Apple's support forums," reports The Verge. From the report: Specifically, users are experiencing issues where phones will not charge if the Lightning cable is plugged in while the device is asleep. The problem appears to be a software bug -- perhaps related to the phone's USB accessory settings -- and requires iPhones to be unlocked (or at least have the screen lit up) in order to begin charging. Tech vlogger Lewis Hilsenteger demonstrated the issues on nine different iPhone X, XS, and XS Max devices on his YouTube channel Unbox Therapy. Some iPhones respond immediately to being plugged into a charger, while others have to be tapped to awaken, and others freeze up. If you are experiencing this issue, you should find relief by upgrading to the iOS 12.1 beta, which apparently eliminates the problem entirely. "For now, others suggest going into Settings, FaceID and Passcode, scrolling down to 'Allow access when locked' and turning on USB Accessories," reports The Verge.

    I've got a 6S and some time ago (seems like the last few months) it started acting this way where it needed to be unlocked before it would charge. This only seemed to happen if plugged in to a computer via USB cable though, which I don't do terribly often. I had just assumed it was some new "feature" designed to stymie attempts at cracking security by letting the battery drain down.

      Yep I noticed this myself about 3 months ago with my iPhone 7. It happens to me even using a wall charger (with a non-standard charging wire).

      I noticed it because sometimes I would plug it in at night and in the morning it wouldn't be charged at all. I realized I had to make sure the device was unlocked when plugging in the charger so I could visibly see the charging symbol light up. Works every time doing it that way.

      Weird bug.

      I still use my iPhone 6s and reduce my monthly bill from $80 to $50. As a phone and a video camera, the iPhone 6s isn't obsolete and I use it to make my videos on youtube. As a Sprint very special customer for 20+ years, Sprint will always give me a new iPhone for free if I decide to stop using the 6s as a phone in the next several years.

      I use PhotoShop daily!

      I have a hearing loss in one ear, so my audio will always be suspect. I use a Zoom H2 audio recorder with a pop filter 12" away from my mouth, Audacity to clean up and normalize the audio, and sync the audio to the video and apply a "voice enhancement" eq to the audio in the video editor.

      My PC has an eight-core processor and a Nvidia 1050 Ti 4GB video card. A minute of 1080p video renedered on the processor takes a minute. A minute of 1080p video renedered on the Nvidia card takes 10 seconds. I don't think an iPad has the same performance of my PC for renedering videos longer than a short clip.

      I can't imagine using Photoshop without a keyboard and mouse, or not being able to access my files from my file server. Video renedering on the iPad will probably suck donkey balls.

      Well, yes, until Unbox Therapy brought 9 phones together and half of them exhibited the problem.
      Remember, this only happens when the phone is charged through cable, not wirelessly, and when the cable is plugged in while the phone is idle. My guess is that very few people do that, and if they do and the screen doesn't lit up, they tap the screen to see what's going on, and then the phone starts charging. I would have not considered it as an issue, but a very small annoyance I could adapt to.
