my less than year old iphone 6 has issues charging. it seems that even with brand new lightning charger cables, it would not charge unless i fiddle with it and look for the exact position in which it does charge. So very unreliable and something is clearly wrong with the port. WHat is the easiest way to get the port replaced?

I'm embarrassed to say how skeptical I was about this... until I got a small paperclip and started digging. I had to use some moderate force and then... gobs of lint came out. I think I finally got all the lint out of the port and now, my problem is solved. Lightning cables make a good, tight connection now and I'm not constantly wiggling it around to get it to charge. Thank you!
which are a used phone with no warranty for $299 or a new phone $700
There is a 90 warranty on service replacement units.
Holy shotzky it worked! Thank you!!!
thanks to all for saving me $! One person's lint is another person's $ saved. Cleaned the port and back to charging without jiggling cable.
Yeah I just tried this method to but with a paper clip. Just saved me a $200 dollar fix.
I used a piece of very thin ball pin to fish out dust bunnies from the lightning port and headphone jack. worked like a charm. it's incredible the amount of debris that accumulates in there!
What did u us to clean it
Can’t believe the amount of stuff that came out. Thanks for the tip.
Yup...toothpick clean out worked in less than 1minute. Charging perfectly now.
Awesome! Exactly same issue and yes, clearly a dust bunny issue. Thanks!

Was having same problem and just used a toothpick to scape blue jean fuzz out of the port. Must of been stopping plug from going in fully.
HAPPY DANCE!
