iPhone13 not fully charging on wireless charger overnight after update to ios26

Prior to updating to ios26 I would wake up to a 100% charged phone, after the update it is usually at 42% or so. I have disabled all of the battery modes that were suggested in multiple forums with no change to the outcome. Updating to 26.1 did not alter this behavior.


Charges fully on a direct connect usb

Again, this worked PERFECTLY before upgrading the OS. This has nothing to do with the charger and everything to do with the update. The phone still charges via this wireless charger it simply does not fully charge.

To answer your questions, no it is not a fake magsafe and it is connected to a 20W source.

If the update did this, it would have likely done it to everyone who updated to iOS 26. But it didn't. It certainly didn't for me or anyone I know. And this forum would be flooded with complaints if iOS 26 did this, yet it's not.


The easiest thing to try would be a Forced Restart (something I do after EVERY iOS update) --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


If that doesn't help, it would be helpful if you have another MagSafe or Qi charger you could place your phone on to see if it's the phone hardware or the charger you're using.
