battery does not charge via cable

The iPhone connected to the charger via the cable shows that it is charging, but after connecting the battery percentage drops very quickly, and it does not detect it when connected to the computer, but if it is charging wirelessly, it charges normally.

Your cable may be defective. Or your charging port. Try a different cable. Also, try carefully cleaning out the charging port with something non-conductive like a toothpick. It's amazing how much pocket lint can get jammed into the port.


If neither of those things help, make arrangements to have the phone evaluated:
