Apple  fans around the world have their hands on the latest and greatest from Apple but issues are being reported by some users. The most recent development states that some of the new phones are not charging automatically even when plugged into a power source and require some sort of manual input from the user to initiate charging. It all started with a post on Apple’s Communities portal on September 24 when a user  claimed  a Lightning port charging issue with his newly bought iPhone XS Max. “I connect the Lightning cable to my phone to charge and most of the time it’s automatically charges. However I’ve noticed several times plugging the phone in and no charge comes up. Tried unplugging and plugging back in sometimes it’ll work”. He goes on to mention that keeping the unit untouched doesn’t work and he has to illuminate the screen for the charging icon to pop up. Apple has not responded to the ‘charge-gate’ issue yet. I hope if its a software issue apple will soon fix
