iPhone 17 Pro charging intermittently and slowly

My wife’s iPhone 17 Pro has developed charging issues. It’s 5 months old.


When you plug it in to charge, it will start normally, but after 10-15 minutes it will make notification noises as if it is stopping and restarting charging. Unplugging and plugging it back in again restarts the cycle.


Even when placed on a wired charger, it seems to charge very slowly compared to my iPhone 16 Pro.


I’ve done several force restarts, updated to iOS27, and tried different cables and sockets/adaptors. I’ve tried with optimised charging on and off. And of course, I’ve blown into the USB-C port on the phone 😀. I don’t see any debris in there.


Should I just stop wasting my time and take to an Apple Store? There’s just not one that close to us, so asking here is trying to save that hassle!

Take it to an Apple store, assuming you have tried it with a genuine Apple power source and Apple charger, and you don’t have intermittent line power issues.
