iPad mini 6 Charging Chaos After the iPadOS 15.5 Update
Shortly after installing iPadOS 15.5, many iPad mini 6 users are finding their tiny tablets refusing to accept a charge. The fix? A quick restart – at least for the time being.
What’s the story?
- Reports from Apple Support Forums. Users say the mini 6 stops charging post‑update, even with multiple cables and chargers.
- One quick trick works. A simple reboot temporarily resolves the issue.
- Internal memo from the tech giants. MacRumors got hold of a message to authorized service providers stating Apple is fully aware of the problem.
- Clear message. The memo confirms that swapping hardware or batteries won’t fix it – it’s a software hiccup.
- Future fix on the horizon. Apple’s 15.6 update is expected to patch the glitch.
Why the restart helps
Think of it like rebooting your computer to clear a stubborn process. The mini 6’s software just needs a fresh start to re‑engage the power subsystem.
What’s next?
Standby for iPadOS 15.6. Until then, keep your mini tiny‑tune in tip‑to‑tip mode, and charge it like a pro: unplug, wait, reconnect. Old-school patience never hurt anyone!
As a side note, Apple’s upcoming rugged watch model is rumored to have a larger display and a metal case. But that’s for another day.
