I just got my iPhone 15 Pro about a week ago, and I'm running into a weird issue. When I first attach it to the MagSafe charger, it charges at a normal speed for a minute or two. But then it drops to slow charging. I've tried restarting my phone, closing all apps, and even letting it rest for about 15 minutes. I removed the case and disabled optimized charging too, but nothing seems to help. I've used different cables and two different MagSafe charger stations (including ones from China) along with my Apple charger adapter. When I had my iPhone 13 Pro a few years back, I didn't have any issues with the same charging setup. Is this a bug related to iOS 26? It seems like there shouldn't be any difference in MagSafe charging speed between the 13 Pro and the 15 Pro.

It sounds like the issue might be related to the charging brick. What wattage is it? I've noticed that a lot of public Qi chargers cap out at around 10W, which is pretty slow, even if they support MagSafe and Qi2.
The charging station claims to be 15W and the charger brick is 65W. My friend used the same setup with his iPhone 14 Pro and didn't experience any slow charging, so it's confusing!
