iPhone 12 pro max doesn't charge

I recently purchased a iPhone 12 Pro and a iPhone 12 Pro Max. The Max won't charge using any of the chargers I have from my iPhone X but the regular 12 Pro charges just fine. Is the Max just defective? It should charge using a standard Lightning cable that charges any newer iPhone, correct? I'm not concerned with wireless or fast charging here. I just want the Max to charge using my existing cables. Thanks!

Also, it won't let me select any iPhone 12s for the device this post is related to so I had to select iPhone 11 Pro Max

I’m so happy to see someone else is having this problem! (I’m sorry it’s happening) I am having the same issue with my iPhone 12 Pro Max.. I also am having an issue that it will give me an error code stating there is water in the port and it won’t charge. This went on for over a week. I finally went to apple and they swapped the phone for me less then 24 hours ago. Now I plug the phone in and half way through the charge ...that same error pops up again! I have probably 8 different cables and chargers here. I have tried everyone of them. Even the ones in both of our cars. They range from 5W-18W chargers. I am so frustrated! Can anyone help with this ??? Don’t suggest clearing off the phone and trying it... I’ve done that twice now!
