Reply to comment by dskatter in Magsafe stops working right before new SW update? by abailey2112

All the time, we’ll at least once per week which is way more than most.

Hmm. Then I don’t know, except if it happens again I’d contact Apple.

That should have been step 1 after rebooting and such if MagSafe stopped working on any phone, btw. Just saying. :)

Oh yeah dude, that’s always my first step. The old Microsoft tech support of turning it off and on again lol

I figured I’d ask here because the problem “fixed itself” after we put 16.3 on. Didn’t think apple could do much honestly.

I’d have considered that a hardware issue, since MagSafe shouldn’t just stop functioning! But hey, it’s working now!

Sadly, you’d be surprised how many people never think of rebooting when they have an issue. “My iPhone started doing something, what do I do?” Tried rebooting? “…wow, that fixed it, thanks!”

Hahaha yeah I learned at a very young age turning it off and back on again works wonders.

Even worked on a multi million dollar government aircraft I used to work on. Didn’t work, just reboot and start over

Uh, soft reboots or hard/forced reboots?? Soft reboots (turn iPhone off/on) are fine. Hard/forced reboots have a tiny chance of corrupting internal storage (because it's like pulling the power plug on a running desktop PC). It's like playing russian roulette; you might be able to get away with doing it a lot, but you'll get bitten eventually.
