My iPhone 10s max has a hard time charging and if the cord moves, the phone stops charging. I thought my phone was messed up but I just read that this is a common issue. How should I go about this with Apple?

My iPhone 10s max has a hard time charging and if the cord moves, the phone stops charging. I thought my phone was messed up but I just read that this is a common issue. How should I go about this with Apple? Is this something they would warranty without Apple care?

What happens when you try another cable? Try with a different cable and preferably an Apple Lightning Cable that is not worn out or not more than a year old. If that solves it then the issue is the cable and not the iPhone. Try plugging the cable into a different wall outlet to rule that out. Thanks.
