iPhone 15 Plus has charging problems with different cables and bricks

Hello,


My daughter’s iPhone 15 plus has been experiencing charging problems for a few months now and we are unable to diagnose/isolate the issue, so wanted to ask the community here if someone experienced similar problems before.

Her phone started not to charge with her original cable and brick so we bought another cable and it worked for a few days/weeks then stopped charging again.

We changed the brick and again it worked for a while then stopped.

She tried another cable and brick for a samsung phone and they charged it also for a while.

All of the cables/bricks used so far, after stopping charging the iPhone, mostly stopped working even with those of the Samsung’s (brick is ok, cable didn’t charge the Samsung phone again)!!

We went to 2 different repair shops as we don’t have Apple’s service centers here, both thought it might be a charging IC or a board but both shops after inspection said they couldn’t find HW issues.

during all this months, the phone is being charged with a magnetic charger without any issues other than it’s charges a bit slower.


Any idea what could this issue be?

Hello amaksond,


In addition to SravanKrA's comments, check the charging port for lint or other debris. Use a bright light and a toothpick.


Good luck.
