Some iPhone XS and XS Max units refuse to charge until you wake them up

29 September 2018
The issue applies to wired charging and appears to be widespread; our samples are unaffected.

    Just charge you spare battery with an external charger so you don't quickly wear down the other battery. Charging a phone while using it was a bad idea anyway.

    Oh, I'm sorry. Wrong phone section. I will show my way out.

        Another new and innovative feature by apple.

        Everytime your battery goes flat, just pay $599 to remove back cover.

        plus another $299 for installation of a new battery.

        Wow. Innovation at its finest.

        Bet you samsung doesn't have this feature

          If you want to charge iPhone 10S and 10S Max you need first to play Avicii song 'wake me up' :D

            Will Apple recall all these defected unit? That's why Trump ask Apple manufacturer at own homeland, it could be affected by the trade war. Just like the Australia's strawberry hide of needle. Dark trade wars.

              Unbelievable. Apple is the most overrated company

                  It's funny how these retarded fandroids showup everytime iPhones get issues. Maybe they're just tired of waiting for Android 9 Pie on their android phones. Lol

But there have been different issues and not just one. Overheating is one of them. These iphone issues aren't even major. Users affected can still charge their phones and they know how quick apple fix these minor issues with a quick update release so everything will be fine in a few days. Every manufacturer has to deal with these issues apple included. Some are quick to fix it others are not. Apple have a good record when fixing these issues which last a small time. Not one brand has never dealt with zero issues on new devices too. And these issues affect the users with these problems but are quickly dealt with. Every big corporation whether mobile phone or car manufacturers or rocket manufacturers get issues fixed pretty quick and they all have to deal with little problems at times. Nobody said iphones or any other brands are built by advanced civilisations from a galaxy far away and will work in perfect conditions forever so calm down and I'm sure ur shares in apple will rise again

                        Not even counting the poor front cam with beauty mode that users can't get rid of, ugly not, poor battery endurance and overprice

Just Bcuz it's not mentioned in here doesn't mean it doesn't have issues. Check other sites on samsung forums too. Pixel 3 might be fine nobody knows. It also may not be after the many issues the pixel 2 had at launch last year. Maybe the pixel 3 will fare better or maybe not.
                            I would understand you more if u had shares in apple and u lost money Bcuz of these fixable issues but don't know why u take this serious when it doesn't affect ur life in any way so relax keep calm and have a nice day

                              Who cares, its just Apple...
                              The most expensive, but even cheap phone we can get.
                              Isn't this ironic... :-D
                              Never more.

                                The funny part of it all is that fanboys say android have it's issues too while android is made to run on 100+ different models and hardware phones a year while Apple have only one hardware and cant even manage to run there os on it without problems
