No

No

We could go on, but you need to understand that Apple does not offer repair parts or even offer repairs on an issue like this.

If the iPhone is still covered by AppleCare, Apple will replace the iPhone with a refurbished product. If the phone is out of warranty, there is not much that you can do with Apple involvement.

I suppose it is possible that an independent shop might be able to repair the port......IF.....they could find the correct parts or board to do so. But, since Apple does not sell this type of part, the repair shop would have to try to rob the part from another iPhone. I have a feeling that this is not anywhere near as simple as it might sound.

How well.....or if.....that would even work is open to question.
