User says iPhone 15 Pro charging power bank instead of its own battery

WEB DESK: Apple’s recent iPhone 15 Pro launch has been marred by unexpected issues, including shattering back glass, overheating, battery drain, and broken wireless charging.

A new concern has emerged related to the iPhone’s USB-C charging port, raising questions about its compatibility with external power sources like power banks.

Users have reported unusual behaviour when connecting their iPhones to power banks.

One Reddit user shared an experience where the iPhone 15 Pro seemed to charge the power bank instead of charging itself.

Similar incidents have been noted with iPad connections, sparking worries about the devices’ compatibility with various charging accessories.

In response to the problem, Anker, a prominent charging solution manufacturer, has advised users to avoid the iPhone’s USB-C port when charging.

Instead, they recommend using the USB-A port on the power bank. The issue appears linked to the iPhone’s new reverse charging feature, which allows it to act as a power bank for other devices.
