iPhone 11/XR/XS MAX not charging fully past 80/90/98 %



Many iPhone 11 Pro Max, X users are reporting battery not charging above a certain level and get stuck at some particular % level eg  80%. Even it’s showing the phone is charging when it’s is plugged in to charger but not charging stuck at 80 for the past 3 to 4 hours. This seems like iPhone stopped charging at 80 and the charging will not happen after that. This is really annoying as you can't rely upon the battery percentage anymore.


The similar issue is even reported with iPhone 8 with iOS 11 installed. The iPhone % stuck varies from users to users for some it is 75% while for other can be 83% or 80.

In this case you should recalibrate your battery by letting is discharge completely until the iPhone switches off. Now if you recharge your iPhone this should charge normally to 100%.

Fix 2: clean up charging ports
