User level: Level 1 (4 points)After installing 27.0.1 I have problems with fast charge iphone SE 2020. Charge symbol disappears after 1 sec. I am forced to use my good old slow charger with usb-A / lightning cable. Does anybody know if this is a known bug? Now waiting for a 27-fix...

I would reach out to Apple about this. iPhone SE 2020 is capable of fast charging as long as you are using an 18W or higher charger. Have you tried a different cable or charing cube?
I would also recommend a Force Restart, which I do after EVERY iOS update --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
If you're in the US you can call Apple at: 800-MY-APPLE. Or click the Support button at the bottom of this page.

This bug seems to be specific to the SE2020. You can sometimes restart the phone with the power cable in, or use the battery widget. You will find it is still charging.
Yes the SE2020 only has one charging speed. It should fully charge in about 3 hours.
But mainly REPORT IT https://apple.com/feedback

Force restart doesnt come up with apple logo on my phone.
Users often do not perform the Forced Restart correctly.
Quickly press and release the Up Button
Quickly press and release the Down Button
Hold in the Side button. Here is where users make the mistake of holding the Side button until they see the "slider" to power off the phone appear. So, they stop at that point, or they move the slider to power off the phone. Then, they restart the phone again. This is not correct.
You have to ignore the "slider" 'when it appears and keep holding the Side button in for another 5-10+ seconds until the Apple logo finally appears. It might take 20+ seconds of holding the Side button until the Apple log appears.
The Apple logo will appear on the iPhone after the long hold.....unless.....there is a hardware problem on the phone.
Please try the Forced Restart again and report on whether you are successful.

Sorry for the daft question, but if you leave the fast charger connected does the phone charge? This might just be a bug with the display, not the charging.

From what I have read this is a bug on SE2020 and no amount of restarting will fix it.

thanks. Yes I tried 2 apple fast chargers with 2 different usb-c / lightning cables. Force restart doesnt come up with apple logo on my phone. I did exactly what support told me to do. I'll raise a support ticket.
