If your iPhone won’t charge, it can be frustrating, but there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to try and resolve the issue. Here’s what you can do if your iPhone won’t charge:

1. Check the Lightning Cable and Adapter

1. Inspect the Lightning cable for any signs of damage, such as fraying or exposed wires. If it’s damaged, try using a different Lightning cable.
2. Ensure that you’re using the original Apple Lightning cable and adapter that came with your iPhone or a certified third-party accessory.

2. Clean the Charging Port

1. Turn off your iPhone.
2. Use a soft, clean, dry brush (such as a new toothbrush) to gently clean out any debris or lint from the Lightning port.
3. Avoid using anything sharp or metallic that could damage the port.

3. Try a Different Power Source

1. Plug your iPhone into a different power source, such as a different wall outlet, a computer’s USB port, or a different USB power adapter.
2. Ensure that the power source is working properly by testing it with another device.

4. Restart Your iPhone

1. Press and quickly release the Volume Up button.
2. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button.
3. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake (or Side) button until you see the Apple logo.

6. Update iOS

1. Ensure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS.
2. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and install any available updates.

8. Contact Apple Support

If your iPhone still won’t charge after trying the above steps, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store or authorized service provider for further assistance. There may be an underlying hardware issue that requires professional diagnosis and repair.
