My iphone 5 stopped charging altogether. Several visits to the dealer has not solved the problem. Please help! What are my options?

Hello Kanthi,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I see you are having issues with your iPhone charging. Without knowing what dealer you visited or what troubleshooting they did, I can offer you the following article for you to use to determine where the problem lies.

Did you visit an Apple store? If so they should have explained your options to you.
