iOS 12.1 Beta Includes Fix for iOS 12 iPhone and iPad Charging Issue
The second beta of iOS 12.1, which was released this morning, includes a fix for a charging issue affecting the iPhone XS, XS Max, and other iOS devices.
Discovered following the launch of the two new iPhones and highlighted over the weekend, the charging bug causes some iPhone and iPad devices to refuse to charge over a Lightning connection when the screen is not activated.
According to iMore's Rene Ritchie, the new iOS 12.1 beta fixes the issue so iOS users will no longer need to double check to make sure their devices are charging after being plugged in.
The bug does not affect all iPhones and iPads, but those who are impacted have seen their devices fail to charge over Lightning when plugged in while the iPhone is asleep.
Tapping the iPhone to wake it up in this situation resumes charging, but an iPhone that is affected and plugged in with the screen deactivated can refuse to charge, resulting in uncertainty over whether or not a device is actually charging.
While this issue originally came to light because of complaints from iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max owners, it appears it was widespread and affected many devices running iOS 12.

With it, no more delay or uncertainty about charging. You’ll be back to just plugging it in and getting power.
(Pretty much what I said in my video yesterday.)

Issue fixed by software 3 days after this entire forum and some youtubers made a MASSIVE ****ING FUSS over some minor testing oversight.

Another "gate" down. Now, would you stop with that "gate" nonsense whenever some minor problem pops up, OK?
Thank you in advance.

Minor testing oversight? As in ‘the most basic function of a battery-powered phone’ kind of oversight?
I’m a huge Apple consumer and have been since they nearly went bankrupt right before the arrival of the iPod which saved the company. That being said, I don’t drink this ridiculous kool-aid.
Most people will argue that for that kind of money, one shouldn’t have to worry about plugging in a phone at night.
That said, we’re all glad you’ve slept well at night charging your phone wirelessly.

With hundreds of thousands beta testing IOS 12, nah, this bug shouldn’t happen
Yeah but no public beta folks were testing it on the new hardware. That's why I think they need to stop releasing a new iOS and new phone at the same time.

No surprise. Bugs happen.

My friend who has Verizon on his XS Max reports better reception than his X
Okay, but a lot of people still have the issue across all carriers

Hopefully they address the terrible reception for Sprint and Verizon users, if possible.
