I have always suggested others when their iPhone doesn't charge to clean out their charging port with a wooden toothpick, and I just recently decided to try it out for myself, and to my surprise it didn't fit. Is there something I'm doing wrong or...it just doesn't hit the bottom of the port.

I’ve been using MagSafe for many wonderful years and that would be a possible solution when answering those questions.
Think of the benefits of MagSafe:•
Slower charging is better for battery health.
I have seen no evidence or documentation that confirms that. And MagSafe generates more heat, which is not good for battery health. As MagSafe requires a 30 watt source, and wired requires only a 20 watt source, MagSafe charging wastes 10 watts, and thus is only 66% efficient.
• Avoids damage to the port.
• Prevents costly repairs.
If you can think of other benefits, let me know! 😉
Sure. MagSafe uses more energy for the same amount of charge, so it supports the fossil fuel industry.😏
Should fit in a lightning port. USB C has a 'thing' in the middle that may prevent a toothpick from fitting.
Hard to say.
How should we clean a USB-C port then?
With an unused toothbrush.
Hello~ I, too use the silicon plugs. They work well.

That is correct. ✅

Excellent question Tim and thank you for the clarification Brian!
