iPhone 14 Pro Charging Port Repair

Description

Like the rest of the iPhone 14 range, the iPhone 14 Pro uses a Lightning connector. Apple says it can reach up to 50% charge in around 30 minutes with a 20W or higher adapter. If your 14 Pro now takes hours, stops and starts, or shows an alert every time you plug in, the charging port may be dirty, worn or damaged. We repair the iPhone 14 Pro charging port for £95.

What a failing port looks like

• “Accessory not supported” or “not certified” alerts with a cable that used to work
• Charging only at an angle, or only with one particular cable
• Slow charging even with a 20W adapter
• CarPlay or a computer not detecting the phone over the cable

Why the alerts appear

Apple lists three reasons for “accessory not supported” alerts: a dirty or damaged charging port, a defective or damaged charging accessory, or a USB charger that isn’t designed to charge devices. Its guide for an iPhone that won’t charge suggests trying another cable and charger and removing debris from the port first. If none of that helps, the port needs repairing.

Questions about the 14 Pro port

Is it just lint?

Sometimes. Lint packs into the back of the Lightning socket so the plug can’t seat properly. When the port is clean and it still won’t charge properly, the connector itself is the problem.

My phone charges, but it dies quickly. Port or battery?

That sounds more like the battery. Check Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging, and see our iPhone 14 Pro battery replacement.

Can I pay online first?

Yes, and you can cancel for a full refund before the repair starts.
