upowerd is consuming nearly 100% of CPU.

I am currently affected by this issue on both a Lenovo Thinkpad E520 and on a desktop PC running Core i7 and Asus Z170a motherboard. Both run Kubuntu 15.10. However, I have found reports of this problem on several different distros (from Fedora to Arch to Ubuntu) going back several years.

I found these bug reports, but I don't find any workaround or solution:

After discovering this page I did some experimentation; connecting and disconnecting my iPhone 4 (ios 7.1.2) with up-to-date Ubuntu 16.10 using Unity running on a MacBookPro7,1

I found that just confirming Trust on the iPhone had no effect; { in fact I am asked repetitively to allow trust on this system unless I indicate 'Don't Trust', but that is another matter }

I also found that usbmuxd is playing a big part in this problem, so forcing usbmuxd to exit is a quick and dirty fix.

/usr/sbin/usbmuxd -X

After NOT Trusting and running the command I can charge the phone, and connect to it as a wireless or bluetooth hotspot without the cpu time consumption. { the phone also stops asking whether to trust the computer or not, and usbmuxd stops restarting }

  According to askubuntu.com/questions/818965/upowerd-hogging-cpu it helps to select "Trust this computer" when connecting the iPhone to the computer. This solves the problem for me.

I had this issue. It seems to be an issue if I boot up with the iPhone already plugged in. Instead,

unplug the iPhone and boot. After everything is up and running, plug the iPhone back in and "trust" and enter pass code. cpu usage should gradually drop.

just don't boot up with the iPhone plugged in and this should not be a problem. At least that is how it was for me.
