How to Fix iPhone Not Charging Problem [2026 Guide]: Quick Solutions
An iPhone refusing to charge is often due to debris in the port or a faulty cable, rather than a dead battery.
Troubleshooting checklist:
- Clean the Charging Port: Use a non-conductive tool (like a wooden toothpick) to gently remove pocket lint packed into the Lightning/USB-C port.
- Inspect the Cable: Check for frays or damage. Try a different Apple-certified (MFi) cable.
- Force Restart: Sometimes the software logic controlling charging crashes. Perform a force restart.
- Try Wireless Charging: If wired fails, but wireless works, your charging port is physically damaged.
🤔 Protip:
If the device is detected by a computer but won't charge properly, use Dr.Fone - System Repair (iOS) to fix potential firmware issues preventing the charging process.
