Posting here for traffic DD isn’t charging. We tried clearing it, a different charger and still not working. Anything else we can do?

Thank you

Pretty common problem I think, that and the batteries finally giving up. I’ve posted the link in my PP they can give you a quote online if you choose that route. Good Luck

ETA if it’s been sporadically charging and you need to ‘wiggle’ the connector it probably is the port.

I think they can be charged with a wireless charger if you have one or could buy/borrow one, then you would know if it was the port or not

You might need a new battery. Best thing is to take it the phone to the nearest Apple store and get the Genius bar to fix it. Otherwise you'll just be guessing. A new battery is about £80, if it is that.

Try a wireless charger. Claim on the insurance

It amazes me what people think you can claim on insurance for.

You need to take it to an Apple Store to get a new battery fitted.
