iPhone 5 not charging

Try a new cable and/or adapter. Clean the connector on the iPhone. Try another mains outlet.

if the above steps dont help,need to take the handset to apple store for servicing

Either your charger or your iPhone is faulty. Try a different cable as some suggested above.

our family actually has 3x same chargers for 2x iPhone 5 and 1x iPod Touch.

my iPhone 5 was loosing to charge everytime i connect the charger/s ( it

is not loose at all when you connect, not wobbling, it is intact into the socket).

then today, it is not charging anymore. lost connection, KAPUTT.

basic troubleshooting i did, was to use all our 3x chargers, nothing, no connection. just to make sure that this

is not cable or charger issues, i tried the other iPhone 5, it worked no problem using those 3x chargers and cables.

rebooted or hard reset, clean the socket on the iPhone.

conclusion: for now, it is the charging/data socket that has a problem. what is the problem? it is unknown until i bring this to the apple store.

remedy: bring this to apple store.

I was having the same problem, and I cleaned the charging socket carefully with a toothpick, small piece of paper towel, and electrical contact cleaner. Coincidentally, I also had a bad cable. I feel that the new thunderbolt charging system is very fickle - the cables fail more frequently, and the connection at the device (especially the iPhone because of being in more confined debris-ridden spaces like a pocket) is is not as robust as the previous IOS connector. I have spent 3X the amount on these charging cables and accessories, and it has me thinking about an alternate phone for the first time in 4 years. I just don't like wasting time on failing connectors and the iPhone finding any generic charging device to be incompatible.

Dear allampedup,

I am faced with the same charging problem. A number of actions as already proposed hav e flailed so far.

The battery is empty now and cannot be charged.

How did you go with your Iphone and how could you manage the charging problem.
