Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
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?

The final answer selected I believe is correct. But, some of the suggestions here to clean your port goes completely against Apple's recommendations. One problem Apple suggests is caused by using third party chords to charge your phone. If something as simple as that can cause your port to go bad, why would anyone would want to stick a soft wire, paper clip, or tac into their port to clean it? I've never had a problem with charging any of my Apple devices. But, even if its merely dust or crud buildup, there is a fundamental flaw in the Lightning port design. Apple needs to correct this. Apple is avoiding at all cost a major recall. Look at all the chatrooms, thousands if not millions of Apple owners are running into this problem.
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.
