Apple added a USB-C port to the iPhone 15 lineup this year, allowing it to work with USB-C cables, USB-C power banks, and more. It turns out that some USB-C battery packs don’t work properly with Apple’s iPhone 15, leading to charging issues.
As highlighted On Reddit And the MacRumors ForumsNot all existing USB-C power banks can be used with the iPhone 15 models, possibly due to the iPhone’s reverse charging feature. In some cases, the iPhone 15 will fail to charge, or the iPhone 15 will charge the power bank.
A range of different power banks are affected, and given the large number of them on the market, it’s impossible to list the models that don’t work. One version that failed to work was the Anker PowerCore Slim 10K PD, and a customer who contacted Anker was told that the only way to get the power bank to charge an iPhone was to use the USB-A port.
It seems that due to the reverse charging function of the iPhone 15 series, the charging of the USB C port of the Anker PowerCore Slim 10k PD will be affected, which currently has no solution. The only way to charge your iPhone is to use the USB A port.
Anker will run further tests on all of our power banks to see if this is the issue with some power banks and try to get a solution.
The iPhone 15 models can charge an Apple Watch, AirPods, or another iPhone through the USB-C port, and there is a possibility that this function is what is affecting some power banks. Most USB-C power banks with Power Delivery seem to work as intended, including a number of models tested by MacRumorsbut iPhone 15 owners should be aware that some of them may be incompatible.
