charging cable won't push in to socket on my iPhone 6. The last mm encounters springy resistance. So I can't charge it.

Worked fine for many years. Problem starts today.

Check for fluff in the port. Tease out gently with a thin sliver of card or plastic.

iPhone 15 Pro charging cable comes loose from USB C port My iPhone 15 Pro is failing to charge about half of my attempts. The charging cable no longer inserts snuggly into the USB C port. Anyone else having this issue?

Charging cable isn't working ... I've tried several different ones and none of them start a charge. How can I get my iPhone to charge? The cable isn't working and the charge just keeps going down and is not at 12%. There is not longer a lightning strike indicating it is charging. What is happening? What can I do?

hey my iphone 15 pro max is rejecting the charging cable i use the one that came with the phone and even tried my cousins charger which worked for her iphone 15 pro so i am not sure whats happening i tried cleaning it but nothing is solving it well i have been trying to charge my phone for a while and even when I press the charger in it just flings out like I didn't even know that it could do that so ya I plan to check it in an Apple store and I think it hasn't even been 4 months since I got it and don't know how to react to this problem I cleaned it both the charger and even used my cousin charger which is form apple no third party still the same reaction I am letting it sit right now for a while to check if maybe it somehow will start to work after few hours at least I hope it does
