iPhone 14 (base model) not charging well

Hello! I’ve had my iPhone 14 for almost 2 years now and the battery has been fine until about yesterday. When charging, the phone doesn’t really charge. It looses battery and when not in use charges extremely slowly. In the span of 5 hours it only went up by 32%. I don’t know what happened or if it’s my cord or not but I need awnsers😭

iPhone 14, iOS 18

Under a strong light, using a magnifier if you have one, examine the port. Using a non-conductive tool like a toothpick, carefully remove any pocket lint or other debris that may have gotten lodged in the port.


Also, try a different adapter and a different cable. One or both may have gone bad.
