Why Your iPhone Says ‘Slow Charger’ After Installing Apple's iOS 26 Update, and How to Fix It
The iOS 26 update, which started rolling out on September 15, introduced the new Liquid Glass design. The newly launched iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air run the new operating system out of the box. Meanwhile, older iPhone models received the latest iOS version via an OTA update.
