      Even baboon would design more usable UI than Apple UI designer. That freaking "starts/stops" charging each 5 seconds with native apple charger are making me crazy already, what a tech crap my iPhone is? Never had such charger issues with android before... Will never buy any apple crap again: caught myself seeking youtube videos, to understand whether my iphone brick is charging or not

      I like how my phone does it: it's an Oppo and whenever I plug it in a little animation shows a stream of charge moving from the port to the center of the screen. Minimalist and quite awesome.

      @Prakriti2041 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was trouble shooting a friend's iPad with no spare charger. So I was looking online for other causes of not charging.
      The first video I saw suggested doing a hard reset (ya a hard reset not a forced reboot... but the way that wipes your data) then a different charger or cleaning the port. And most of the trouble shooting stuff also indicates a hard reboot.. I wasn't going to do all that with out trying a new charge cable.
      Im also android user and look for the ⚡️to indicate charging.
      New cable and its charging just fine.

    why couldn't they just show the thunderbolt in the battery icon to indicate it's charging, just like how it's normally shown when it's on? I guess that would be way too easy to figure out.

    Thank you I accidentally thought the chord symbol needed to be showing. My bad,
    Since my device of 3 years is not charging right, (seems to be a faulty battery thing since the item can be plugged in and off on charging, plugged and not in use and going down in battery or more) it’s been hard to tell when it’s legit charging.
    The iPad 2 of 10+yrs is still working much better than my current problematic device sadly.

When I woke up it was still on the battery icon mode 😞 I tried charging the ipad now using a powerbank and it opened after about a minute. Could it be my charging cable is damaged?
