Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
1 yr + iphone 12 mini, the charging port has enlarged and none of my charging cords (car/home/aux bat) will connect for charging without a lot of wiggling and holding in place. A solution without buying 3 different charging pads. (car/home/aux bat)
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15
ok well its a first then, because its definitely bigger, not to do with the various charging cords, as i also borrowed one. now i have a problem charging from three different sources, home, car, and aux battery. Only 1 yr 5 mos old, the phone. still paying on it. Have had phones 10+ years, no port problems, second one was replaced after 6 years. Had a mac 11 years ! Planned obsolescence i guess
I looked at mine and I really don’t see a way it can widen. Have you tried using a magnifying glass, flashlight and a toothpick and cleaning out the port? My 11 never had a widening issue but it does collect pocket lint.
what i can determine is the left side of the port is missing, and a piece is at the bottom. comparing it to a friends phone. Back end of port on both phones show no electrical connection, only the sides
Click on the Get Support link at the top right of this page to start the service process. How did it get enlarged?
poor quality construction
Nah, I’ve never seen that happen.
I can actually wiggle the cord back and forth in the port. My cords and borrowed ones Its loose
ah looked inside with a light, know about the lint and toothpick, the connecter inside the port has shifted over, barely visible. this is the shiny piece at the very back end of the port.
or a piece fell out
Went to Best Buy geeks, and they were surprised by the issue. They took it to the back room and …? Gave it back to me and all is ok !
