Iphone 16 Pro max (not) charging saga
I have had it for almost 2 years. My first iphone 16 pro max after around a year stopped charging via usb. I could connect the usb, see it was "charging" but the % was going down. I moved to wireless, it worked for maybe 2 weeks then it stopped. I was still able to charge it using rechargable wireless battery and then it stopped. The phone (based in the US) was " repaired" twice within 2 months but each time same problem occured. Cable charging worked maybe for a week then stopped. I tried different cables etc. Again i had no problem with the same setup all before and my husband who has iphone 17 is charging without any issues. It cannot be the setup. I also had the problem in different locations. I tried restarting the phone (read somewhere it could help).
After it broke again, I said there is something wrong with the phone. And Apple sent me "new" phone (looked like not shop unit). And guess what, same problem happened within 2 weeks. I couldnt believe it. There is something wrong with the 16 model. Moving all apps, banking apps etc all the set up again is terrifying. The phone still charges on/off (sometimes doesn't) via wirless. I am not sure what to do. I dont want to get new 16 and have the problem again. I honestly consider just upgrading to 17 but then why do i have apple care for?? And my phone is fully functional otherwise and (supposingly) brand new..
Did anyone had similar problem with iphone 16? it cant be only me??
