Problem description

Last night, my iPhone Air battery went to zero around 11 PM. I plugged in the USB‑C charging cable within seconds of it shutting down, assuming it would immediately boot up again, as you would expect. However, it didn’t. Minutes passed and nothing happened. There was no low‑battery indicator visible on the screen; the display remained black, as if the phone were dead.

Reports from other users

It turns out this is a known issue. Several online threads contain posts from other iPhone owners describing the exact same problem across iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone Air models.
