Hi billy113094,

All my best,

Are you connecting directly to the MBP, or to a hub? If it's a hub try connecting directly to the computer. If it's already connected to the computer you may have a bad lightning cable, or you may have some other USB device connected that is hogging all of the available power. The MBP can support one USB device that requires 1 amp. Once that device is connected other USB devices can only get 1/2 amp.
I visited that link a couple of times, but it hasn't been of much use because the thing about my problem is that my phone is connecting and disconnecting rapidly, but works with other laptops with the same usb cable just fine, also if I connect another USB cable such as my hard drive it works great. What I don't get is why does my phone connect to other computers with the same USB cable well but not mine, and when I connect something else to my computer it works just fine too. What can I do now? 😟
I am connecting to it directly to my MBP and without any other USB device connected.

It is possible that you have a bad cable try using a different cable.🙂
Take the MBP and iPhone to an Apple store genius bar. Make an appointment first.
Hi Billy,
i have been facing the same issue couple of days back.
there is a very simple solution to this problem, just replace your lighting cable.
