Lightning port malfunction? For awhile now my iPhone 8 Plus is not charging consistently, even after being plugged in all night. It’s not the cable, because I’ve used several which all work fine to charge my iPad. So I think my lightning port is going bad. Is there a way to know for sure before I trek to the Apple store for an appointment? Or anything I can do to fix myself? I saw previous answers to use toothpick or cotton swab but I’m not sure I want to risk causing further damage. Any further suggestions? Thx.

Replace a Lightning port? The Lightning port on someone's iPhone no longer works. We have tested it with different cables. The cables work with other iPhones. Our conclusion is that the port in this iPhone likely got bent somehow. Is this problem something that can be repaired? If so, can it be repaired economically?

You need to visit an Apple retail store for a certified genius to review/repair your iPhone.
