iPhone 13 charging concerns I was told by an internet service provider that using the block for my iPad Pro charger should NOT be used to charge my iPhone 13, even though the cable provided with my iPhone 13 fits into the iPad Pro charging block. What the heck? Please advise. If it’s going to damage my phone, why does it fit and why didn’t it come with a very obvious warning?

iPhone 13 Pro not charging when connected to cable Since purchasing an iPhone 13 Pro new back in December 2021, I rarely used a cable to charge my iPhone 13 except when driving. I mostly wireless charge the phone. Until recently, I primarily used the cable to backup monthly my phone to the computer. Now connecting with a cable, I can't charge or back up the phone. Wireless charging still works and now I backup my iPhone over WiFi and the phone functions flawlessly otherwise. I've tried different cables and charging blocks with no success. There's no damage to the phone and it's never been near water. I've read online where sometimes the charging/mother board inside the iPhone can become defective. If I take the phone to a Genius Bar inside an Apple Store I'm assuming they can isolate the issue. If it is a board is that something the Genius Bar would normally have in stock and how long would it take to repair/replace? Has anybody gone this route? TIA

Take it to an authorized Apple dealer and see if they can remove it for you.
