Can anyone else replicate this issue?

Whenever the charger is plugged in using Touch ID, I cannot unlock my phone - or even register Touch ID in settings.

Tried 2 different cables.

iPhone 7 128GB.
 
I have this problem when I use a non OEM cable. When I use the Apple cable, no issues.

That's gonna be a problem if turns out to be true of the 7.

Just tested further - it only happens when the cable is in the charger as well.

Tried both the included charger and my older iPhone 6 charger - same deal - no Touch ID - 2 phones.
 
This happened to me a lot with my 6 and third party chargers. Never with Apple ones. I hope it's just you (sorry about that)
