Is my iPhone breaking chargers?

I have had an Xs for over a year and in the past few months have noticed an issue with its charging capabilities.. no matter how many chargers I try, they all seem to break within a month of beginning use. How can I fix this??

iPhone XS, iOS 13

I do not think the charger could be the culprit. Most likely the lightning to USB cable and/or your iPhone's charging port could be dirty. Try to gently clean it using a strong flashlight, a toothpick, a soft brush and... a bit of patience.

Then you need to treat the cables better. I have quite a collection of Lightning cables from various devices I have purchased. They all still work, even the 8 year old cables. But you can destroy them by pulling them out by the cable rather than by holding the connector. The phone end of the cable has 4 microcircuits in it. You can get more durable (and fatter) 3rd party cables. Just be sure they are certified as Made for iPhone (MFI).
