Apple Inc. launched the iPad Mini 6 alongside the iPhone 13 lineup last year. Recently, the device’s latest OS- the iPad Os 15.5 appears to have been generating some problems. The most recent iteration of Apple’s mobile operating system is currently having an impact on iPad users, which comes after numerous concerns about the Apple Books app. More specifically, following the upgrade, a number of users have reported having trouble charging their iPad Mini 6 devices.

After updating to iPadOS 15.5, concerned customers have reported on the Apple Support Community forums that they are no longer able to charge the iPad Mini 6. These complaints indicate that regardless of the power cable or adapter used, the iPad battery does not charge. Some users have even tried restoring the iPad software to fix the problem, but this doesn’t seem to work.

Although this may appear to be a hardware problem, the underlying causes are software-related. Apple said that it is aware of users have reported being unable to charge their iPad Mini 6 after upgrading to iPadOS 15.5, according to an internal memo distributed to authorized service providers via MacRumors.

Sadly, Apple also states in the memo that upgrading the iPad’s internal battery or even buying a new one won’t fix the issue, therefore confirming that the charging problem is a software flaw. At this time, it is unknown if the charging issues with the iPad Mini 6 have been resolved by the iPadOS 15.6 beta, which is presently accessible to developers and users signed up for the Apple Beta Software Program.

As a temporary workaround, the company has been encouraging staff at Apple Retail Stores and service providers to ask impacted users to restart their iPad Minis.

As previously said, we are unsure whether the iPadOS 15.6 beta resolves this issue. Installing beta software on your iPad, however, can be worthwhile if your iPad Mini6 isn’t charging properly.

How to update your iPad Mini 6 to iPadOS 15.6 beta

• On your iPad, navigate to ‘beta.apple.com.’
• Log in using your Apple ID.
• Select “Get Started” from the main homepage.
• Select the “iPadOS” tab and then select “enroll your device.”
• Follow the on-screen prompts to download and install the profile.
• After installing the profile, the iPadOS 15.6 notification will appear in the iPad’s update section.

After the public release of iPadOS 15.6 officially, tap “iOS Beta Software Profile” in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management to delete the profile and stop receiving iOS beta updates. The update should resolve the iPad Mini’s charging problems.
