Whenever I try to plug my new iPhone 16 Pro Max in to charge using my wall chargers, I receive an error that says “Cannot Use Accessory: This accessory uses too much power.”
How do I get my phone to stop thinking that my wall charger is an accessory? This happens both my Apple charger and different brands of certified Apple accepted cords.
The error pops up every minute or so and ultimately will not allow the phone to charge.

If you purchased it in an Apple Store I’d return to the store ASAP and if within 14 days return or exchange for a new iPhone. If longer, get it diagnosed and resolve the issue.
If purchased online or an Authorized Apple Reseller in the US please call 1-800-MY-APPLE or outside the US, consult the support articles below.
Your Apple charger does the same thing? What cable are you using? Is it Apple Brand or third party cable?
It’s the USB-c cable that came with the phone
