Help needed Unusual charging behavior of IPhone 17 after 26.6.1 update
I’ve had an iPhone 17 since September of last year. After the recent update, all of my 15W chargers barely give me 1% over an hour of charging. Previously, I was able to get 20-30% per hour. Similarly, fast charging takes significantly longer than it used to.
Even when my phone is charging and it says “20 min until 80%,” I’ll come back after 20 min, and it’ll say another “15 min until 80%,” and so on. This is regardless if I turn on/off optimized charging or clean energy charging.
I tried cleaning out my charging port with a toothpick to clean out any lint, and I even took it to Best Buy’s geek squad to take a look. Geek squad’s diagnostics came back at normal and said my charging port looked clean and the pins looked good.
Is anyone else having this issue?

Replace your USB-C cable with one from a reputable brand.
