The solution may be an Apple charger and cable. But it needs to be tested. You need to have Apple perform diagnostics on your iPhone. It can be done in person at an Apple Retail Store or at an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can also contact Apple Support and request remote diagnostics.

If you’re in the US please call 1-800-MY-APPLE or outside the US, consult the support articles below.

Are the chargers you’re using Apple branded or third party chargers? Are the cables also Apple branded?

The moisture warning can be caused by condensation that forms when the iPhone is cool and then moved to warm humid air.

Hi Jeff!

Is there any solution to fix this? Because, any chargers that I used the warning still there, all charger I used is slow charger? I took 3 to 4 hours to get 80 or 90% charged of battery. And the liquid detected everytime I plugged my device on charger, the warning pops up but my device not soaked in water or any liquid substances.
