iPhone 17 Battery Blunder Fixed by Apple Update
2 Jun
Summary
- New iOS update addresses iPhone 17 charging failures.
- Affected devices couldn't recharge when battery was nearly drained.
- MacOS update also released for M5 chip Macs.

Apple has issued a vital software update, iOS 26.5.1, specifically to resolve a charging problem impacting a subset of iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air devices. The issue prevented these iPhones from recharging via a cable when their batteries reached near-total depletion.
Previously, affected users could only restore power by using wireless charging methods. The new iOS update addresses this specific bug, and it appears to be available only for the models experiencing the problem. Apple also released MacOS Tahoe 26.5.1 for Macs equipped with M5 processors. This separate update corrects an issue that caused unexpected shutdowns for enterprise users when certain network extensions were active.
