iPhone 7 no longer charging

My daughter has an iPhone 7, and the lightning charger no longer charges it. The connection is loose, and the charger does not fit snugly as it should. I have read that this can be caused by dirt or lint in the port, but I have cleaned the port with no effect on the problem. I have also tried multiple cables, but the problem is definitely the port. I would welcome assistance!

iPhone 7 charger stopped working I’ve had my iPhone charger for only a few days (bought brand new) suddenly stopped working (this happened to my last charger so I just bought a new one) it doesn’t look broken to me, I’ve tried what google says to do, restart the phone or clean the debris out of the port. Hasn’t work, I’ve tried on multiple usb charging ports, that were original working up until now. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPhone 13 pro charger keeps connecting and disconnecting Every five to twenty seconds when my phone is plugged in I get the whir that my phone just connected to power. Troubleshooting I've done so far: Used multiple charging setups and outlets. First it was happening on the authentic Apple charger, and now it's happening on the brand new Anker brick and some $30 braided cable I got at Target. The problem is exactly the same with both chargers so I'm thinking it's the charge port. I used a flashlight and looked for debris, didn't see any and all the pins appear to be straight. I've also recently restarted my phone which hasn't affected it. Do I need to schedule an appointment at the Apple store?

iPhone 13 Pro Max charger has stopped fitting into the port My charger has stopped fitting into the port out of nowhere. There isn’t anything inside the port nor is my charger messed up. I’ve tried several different chargers and none will fit all the way for it to charge. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

If you feel that it is not the battery then it is the port. There are no quick fixes for that. Please have your iPhone examined at the Apple Store or an Authorized Service Center.
