What a joke apple is!

I’ve had my iPhone 17 pro max for 32 days. Never dropped it. Rukform case rukform lens cover Rukform chargers. My ubc is falling apart and they say it’s damage that they won’t cover. What a joke! Spend $1500 on a phone. Then the crap falls apart! Then they want to turn around and charge $399 for a new port.

To me that looks like a fitment problem with your case, where inserting the plug has forced it to grind away on the pins in the port. It is kinda hard to tell with the blurry picture though. If it was shipped that way with a manufacturing defect, you would have had that problem on day 1.

That looks a lot like damage from a bad cable. If it is a third party cable, then Apple will not cover it.

Yes I ment the usb c

Once Apple gave in and used USBC instead of Lightning I resolved never to plug anything in that wasn't made by Apple, nor to clean with anything but an air bulb duster.
