Hello Ethan175,


Thank you for being a member of the Apple Support Communities and posting your question!


It sounds like you have done a lot of troubleshooting for this situation where your iPhone 5s is not charging, but the issue continues. You have worked through some great steps already, but to continue this process, I suggest working through the steps outlined in the attached article.


If the battery doesn’t charge

If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:

  1. Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
  2. If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
  3. Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
  4. If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
  5. If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, force your device to restart.
