I will do this for a few seconds then wont charge even though its plugged in I have one charger that wont even charge even though its plugged in. Now this charger is starting to do the same thing

I have a 6

Should I just get a new charger?

Check to see if you have pocket lint in the lightning port. That'll do it every time.

Flip the charger the other way, as if it wasn't a reversible charger. Over the last month, I've noticed that my lightning chargers (Mfi certified and direct from Apple alike) usually favor being turned one way vs the other.



ETA: could also be the charger if it's underpowered.

All of my Lightning cables do this when the connection is coming loose. Time for a new one. I get about ~5-6 months out of one before it eventually goes bad. I buy Monoprice cables for their lifetime warranty and will RMA them once they start do this.

If you're certain its not lint buildup it's a short in the cord.. If it does it on any other cords then there's something in your receptacle (even if you can't see it). The phonedoc store by me cleans out the charge port for free and so I'm sure others do as well.
