How To Fix Black Lock Screen When Charging
This looks like an early-days iOS 17 bug. Apple will have to fix it in an upcoming update. Until then apply the following:
1. Lock/Unlock iPhone
Often this glitch is fixed with the help of the Side Button. Click it to lock device and repeat to wake. Does it help?
2. Unplug iPhone
If the problem persists, disconnect the charging cable and reconnect it.
3. Reboot Device
If you reached this step it means that you have to restart your device to get rid of the black Lock Screen wallpaper. Power you iPhone Off and back On or use the force restart combo.
Fact: Wallpaper turning black was a huge bug in iOS 16. However, back then the glitch would manifest itself system-wide and randomly, not related to charging!
