Apple's recent iPhone 15 Pro launch has encountered unexpected issues that have marred its reception. These problems include the shattering of the back glass, overheating, rapid battery drain, and broken wireless charging.
Adding to the list of concerns is a newly emerging issue related to the iPhone's USB-C charging port, which has raised questions about its compatibility with external power sources, such as power banks. Users have reported experiencing unusual behavior when connecting their iPhones to power banks.
One Reddit user shared a particular experience where the iPhone 15 Pro seemed to charge the power bank itself instead of charging its own battery. Similar incidents involving iPad connections have also been noted, leading to concerns about the devices' compatibility with various charging accessories.
In response to this problem, Anker, a well-known manufacturer of charging solutions, has advised users to avoid using the iPhone's USB-C port for charging.
Instead, they recommend utilizing the USB-A port on the power bank. This issue appears to be linked to the iPhone's new reverse charging feature, which allows it to function as a power bank for other devices.
