If you're having problems charging your iPhone 14 Pro without it restarting
or finding it won't connect to your local network then you aren't alone.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If youre having problems connecting your iPhone 14 Pro to your local network or getting it to charge without restarting then you arent alone.

Despite being an upgraded version of the base iPhone 14 , users are reporting that their iPhone 14 Pro comes with a few extra issues alongside its impressive dynamic island and satellite phone capabilities .

The more widespread problem users are reporting is that their iPhone 14 Pro will restart all on its own while charging via MagSafe or a lightning cable and thats in addition to the battery life problems plaguing iOS 16 devices .

Thankfully the iPhone 14 Pro doesnt appear to reboot unprompted during
regular use so the issue isnt the end of the world, but it will nonetheless
be concerning to see your new smartphone restart every 10 minutes or so as some users report to be experiencing. But best of all some people seem to
have found a solution : disable background app refresh.

Its unclear why this setting change fixes the iPhone 14 Pros charging but nevertheless, users have found that heading to Settings, opening up the General tab, scrolling to and tapping Background App Refresh, and then toggling it off using the option at the top of the page makes the problem go away.

However, if you ask us, you might be better off returning your iPhone 14 Pro and getting a new non-defective one if you can. Turning off background app refresh will mean that your suspended apps wont update which will make using your iPhone less convenient, plus theres no telling if this charging issue isnt just the first sign of a larger hardware problem. Better to play it safe now and get a working iPhone than have to shell out for a big repair when its out of warranty. Stay disconnected

The other iPhone 14 Pro issue currently seems restricted to Verizon
customers, with several people reporting that the 5G signal is very weak on their new smartphone and sometimes calls will drop out mid-conversation.

While some people had theorized that the issues are with Verizons network as
a whole suggesting that its coverage of a persons local area may be worse than the provider they were previously with users have disputed this (via MacRumors Forums ). Some point out that their relatives on an identical plan but on a device like an iPhone 13 have no issue in the same location, while others have said that theyve been with Verizon across multiple contracts but are only now experiencing problems. And worst of all there doesnt appear to
be a quick solution right now, with factory resetting and updating to the latest iOS 16 beta not solving the issue.

Its unclear why the iPhone 14 Pro is having connectivity issues but it's especially disappointing given that its satellite phone features were meant
to make it easier to contact people from anywhere.

Weve reached out to Verizon for advice on what customers can do, and when we hear back well be sure to update this page.
