On: iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max have charging issues

Apple at the very minimum tests many thousands of devices before shipping hardware.

Yes and it makes me curious how they missed such obvious bugs despite thousands of tests.

There are many tens of thousands of third-party and no-name chargers, and Apple only tested hundreds, or maybe thousands. The vast majority of chargers, including all chargers for which Apple is responsible, work fine.

Actually no, Louis Rossman has uploaded a video where an Apple-branded charger observes this behaviour. So no, this doesn't work with a vast majority of chargers, including the ones Apple is responsible for.

Many they forgot this particular test case while "many thousands of devices."
