Charging port not working iPhone 13

My water detector came on. On my iPhone 13zIt gave the option to bypass so I did to charge it. It worked for a short time then stopped working. This was 2 days ago I’ve been using a magnet charger. Will my port work again or did I damage it for good by using the bypass?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

"Charging port not working iPhone 13: It wasn’t submerged. I was in a hot tub and some water splashed up at the port."

Then there is water in your iPhone. That is giving hardware issues from the port. So, I recommend getting this serviced. Setup a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store, taking it in for service. There, it will be diagnosed, and you'll be provided with your options.

Charging MagSafe or Cable:

Using a MagSafe charger, and then going from that to using a cable, all would be expected to operate as it should. If there is damage to the port, then expect there to be a problem with the charge. So, what happens when you try?


Liquid Damage:

If you have a water detected, then does that not seem ideal for what has occurred (i.e. not being by water)? If there Is water in the iPhone, then you should get it serviced. Contact your local retailers, seeing if they have a device for getting water removed from a cell phone (office supply retailers have a reputation for having these). If you cannot find one, then take your iPhone to an Apple Store. You'd setup a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store, taking it in for service. There, it will be diagnosed, and you'll be provided with your options.

"Nothing is happening when I put the cable in. I tried turning it off and putting the cable in. The iPhone came on when I plugged it in but wouldn’t charge. Nothing is happening."

Get this Serviced:

Let things be with the cable --just get it serviced. Note that iPhones are water-resistant --not waterproof. Googling this to find this out: are iPhone waterproof
