Try taking a sowing needle or a thumb tack and gently clean out the iPhone charging port. The. Take a cotton swab and cut off a little bit of it so it can fit inside the iPhone jack where it will get some penetration inside the jack. Run it back and forth to clean the terminals also check and see if the charger you are using to see if all the gold colored pins are still all gold and if there is one or two that is black then try taking a thumbnail and scrape it off gently then ry inserting the iPhone plug back in to see if it charges.
