I think the charging port on my phone is either one or damaged. I must force the cable into the port and bend it in order for it to start charging, and when I let go of the cable, it stops charging.

I am wondering if my phone port is worn or damaged. When I insert the cable into the port, I must force it in and move it around in order to see it making contact and start charging. When I let go of the cable, it stops, charging immediately in order to keep charging. I must hold it and force in.

iPhone X, iOS 16

Visit an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Reseller in your region for assistance to diagnose the problem.

And they could offer a possible solution.

You will first have to make an appointment due to the pandemic.
