Apple Releases Update to Address Wired Charging Issue in Some iPhone Devices

SadaNews - Apple has released the "iOS 26.5.1" update for iPhone users, including a fix for a technical issue that affected a limited number of devices, causing difficulties with wired charging in some cases.

The company stated that the update addresses a glitch that may prevent some models of the "iPhone 17" and "iPhone Air" from charging via cable when the battery is extremely low or nearly empty, noting that the issue affects a limited group of users.

The new update comes days after some users reported this issue, as Apple focused on providing a direct fix without announcing any new features or changes in the system.

The company continues to release minor updates periodically to address technical problems and improve the stability of the operating system and device performance, especially after launching major releases that include extensive changes and new features.

Apple advises users to install the update via the "Software Update" option in the device settings to ensure they receive the latest available fixes and security and technical enhancements.

The "iOS 26.5.1" update is small in size and content but targets the resolution of an issue that may affect the daily usage of the impacted devices, particularly in situations requiring recharging the phone after the battery is drained or dropped to low levels, which could prevent the device from resuming wired charging normally for some users. This move underscores Apple's commitment to quickly releasing updates to address technical issues as soon as they are discovered, aiming to enhance the reliability of its devices and improve user experience.
