iPhone 16 Pro Max Not Charging-USB

Logic boards Apple will not replace they will have you replace the entire phone

This is not correct.

I need to know if the usb port replacement.....

Apple will not repair or replace just the USB port if that is what you are thinking. If the USB port has failed, things are going to be a lot more complicated in terms of repair. You can confirm this when you take the phone in to the Apple Store / Genius bar or to an authorized Apple service shop.

You can find a list of authorized shops in your area using this link:

I will need a more specialized answer with someone who is not a normal user.

Then, you are on the wrong site. This is a user-to-user site. We are all users here. This was explained to you in the Terms of Use Agreement.....which you signed to use this site.

Apple is not here. They will not see your post or reply. Take your iPhone in to an authorized shop if you want to make any progress.

Search for accessories that have completed MFi certification. Once an accessory has completed MFi certification requirements and is reported to Apple as sold/distributed, it will be searchable in our public database of authorized Lightning, headset, charging, iAP-enabled, and Find My network-enabled accessories.

A normal user like me does not want to know what these analytics/diagnostic data mean.

These are meant for diagnosis when the iPhone goes for service or repair at the Apple Authorised Service Center.

Check for Conflicting Apps: If the issue started recently after installing a new app, try uninstalling it and see if the problem persists.

While I wouldn't personally act on the Analytics report you provided, I encourage you to explore it for potential improvements. Taking this step is unlikely to have negative consequences and may boost your confidence. --> General Troubleshooting iPhone Issues: St… - Apple Community

so far I was told by Apple to replace the phone they do not work on logic boards so in my experience my statement is correct.

Your one-time experience does not entitle you to make a blanket statement about Apple which is not correct.

Depending on the age of the iPhone, the cost of replacing the logic board might be prohibitive and there may have been other items that needed attention.

Rather than simply saying "replace the phone", they could have said something like "the money might be better spent on a new phone".

It is possible to replace a logic board in any iPhone that I've ever seen. I've had a logic board replaced in the past and we speak with users all the time on this site who have done the same.

I came to this community in hopes that others have experience working on iPhone as technicians.....

This is a site for users......not professional technicians. Sure, it is possible that a technician might post, but in 18 years on this support site.....I can say that this is a rare occurrence.

Speaking of relevance, this site is not relevant for you, but you never know. Maybe someone will post to tell you exactly what you have already decided will be the answer.

Good luck.
