Users say new iPhones struggle to power on after battery dies

Some iPhone 17 and iPhone Air owners say their phones won’t power back on after fully draining.

When this happens, the phone may not respond to a wired charger at first.

A common workaround is to place it on a MagSafe or other wireless charger for 10 to 15 minutes.

Some higher-wattage wired chargers, including some MacBook adapters, also appear to help.

The issue raises reliability concerns for users who rely on newer iPhones for everyday use and emergencies.
