Owners of the latest iPhone models are advised to immediately check for a crucial software update released by Apple to resolve a frustrating issue impacting wireless charging functionality for some users. The glitch is hindering certain devices from wirelessly charging, forcing affected individuals to rely solely on MagSafe wireless charging.
Although Apple reports that only a small percentage of users are experiencing this issue, it is recommended that all users ensure their devices are running the latest software version.
The impacted devices include the iPhone 17 series, encompassing the Pro and Pro Max variants, as well as the iPhone Air, as confirmed by Apple. The update specifically targets a problem that could prevent wired charging on these models when the battery is nearly depleted.
Updating your device is a simple process. Navigate to Settings, select General, and tap on Software Update. Look for the iOS 26.5.1 update, and choose to install it immediately or schedule it for a convenient time, such as overnight.
It is important to have a stable Wi-Fi connection or adequate mobile data since the update file is substantial, totaling 13.6GB.
