iPhone plugged in but not charging
Most of the time it's just lint in the charging port, a broken cable, or a faulty charger. Try a different cable first — it takes 30 seconds and fixes it right away.
Your iPhone not charging is almost never a broken phone or dead battery. it's lint packed into the charging port from being in a pocket, a damaged cable, or a charger that's stopped working. We'll test a few simple things and clean the port if needed.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Using a metal object like a pin or SIM tool to clean the port — this bends the pins permanently and turns a quick fix into a port replacement
- Using the same broken cable over and over and damaging the port more and more
- Thinking the battery is dead when it's really just the cable or charger
Signs you need professional help
- You've tried a different cable and adapter and your phone still won't charge
- You can see the charging pins inside the port are bent or corroded
- Your phone got wet before it stopped charging
