To charge iPhone, do any of the following:
Connecting iPhone to a power outlet or placing it on a wireless charger (on supported models) can start an iCloud backup or wireless computer syncing. See Back up iPhone and Sync iPhone with your computer.
Note: Don’t try to charge your iPhone by connecting it to your keyboard, unless your keyboard has a high-power USB port.
The battery icon in the top-right corner shows the battery level or charging status. When syncing or using iPhone, it may take longer to charge the battery.
If iPhone is very low on power, it may display an image of a nearly depleted battery, indicating that it needs to charge for up to 10 minutes before you can use it. If iPhone is extremely low on power when you begin to charge it, the display may be blank for up to 2 minutes before the low-battery image appears. See the Apple Support article If your iPhone or iPod touch won’t charge.
WARNING: If you suspect there may be liquid in the charging port of iPhone, don’t plug the charging cable into it. For information about exposure to liquid, and other important safety information about the battery and charging iPhone, see Important safety information for iPhone.
