iPhone SE appears and disappears from PC/Mac really fast

I recently acquired a new iPhone SE Second Edition and when I connect it to a Windows PC or a Mac it doesn't show up, when I connect to a Linux PC it appears and disappears really fast. Charging also stops working if I move the phone.

I've tried the original cable and a generic one.


Is this a problem on the usb port? Should I replace the phone?



Thanks.

Hello,

Check the charging port for lint or other debris and see this:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won‘t charge

Also see:

If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod

Good luck.
