2 and a half weeks ago I bought a brand new IPhone se 2020. This is my first time ever as an iPhone user and the first real money I've spent on a phone. Before, my daily phone was a sub 80 dollar android phone. Last week, I noticed something funny when I was unplugging the phone in the morning. I unplugged the cord, and I noticed the screen never came on. Any other time it would come on almost instantaneous. It took around 30 seconds before it finally came. I thought it was weird but I moved on. A couple days after that, I go to plug it in before bed and I notice nothing happened. I doubled checked that the charger was in and nothing. I unplugged it from the phone and plugged it back in and it began charging. I had a laptop that did that, so I moved on. It worked good the next few nights until last night, I plugged it in to charge, and nothing happened. I remembered that it took 30 seconds for the screen to come on after I unplugged it that one time, so I just waited to see if it would do anything. I don't know how long i waited but it felt like 15 to 20 seconds. Nothing happened, so I hit the screen button on the side. As soon as I pressed it, the screen came on and I heard the charging chime noise. Another thing I noticed in the battery menu, the time is always a few minutes off. I unplugged it this morning and the screen came on and it was 8:20 but when I looked in the battery menu, around noon, it says it was unplugged at 8:22.
I updated to the latest update as soon as I got the phone, am using the stock cable and charger that came with it. Optimized battery charging is turned off. There is no loose connections anywhere because i nudged the charger, both ends of the cable, and even moved the phone around with the cord in, and it never broke the connection from charging. Being 2 and a half weeks old, the charging port is still pristine clean, as to be expected. I've ruled out anything being dirty and messing with the connection, because if lint or something was physically blocking it, pressing the screen button 1 million times wouldn't start it charging, you'd have to physically remove whatever was blocking the connection. Simply pressing the button wouldn't fix that. I, out of habit, reboot a phone every 3 or 4 days. The first time it did this, I was about day 2 or 3 of uptime. And last night when it did it, I had rebooted it about 2 hours prior to when I plugged it in. Regardless, even when these problems occur, it still charges perfectly and the battery life is great throughout the day. I can go from morning to night without ever having to charge it. A buddy of mine is gonna let me borrow his stock cable and 1 amp charger to try over the next few days.
