if it was me then I would try


  1. test with another cable and of cause attempt to turn the cable the other side
  2. test with anothe charging source from another ac charger (that provided enough power to charge) or maybe a computer with a matching usb port
  3. test the cable and ac chargers with another device


other than that I would attempt

try restarting the ios device Force restart iPhone - Apple Support and

check if it resolved it


if it did not then I would try Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support -


if that did not resolve it then I would contact apple about repair Apple Service and Repair for iPhone - Apple Support / Contact - Official Apple Support


Thank you for reaching out. 🤗


If your iPhone won’t charge, then

there appears to be a problem with the internal charging system. Only a certified Apple technician can determine the cause and offer a complete solution.


Therefore, I recommend service.

Very basic troubleshooting point. Try a different charging block and cable. Also make sure the outlet the charging block is plugged into is working. You never know.
