One simple solution is to use a wireless charger or MagSafe charger.


Another is to use high quality USB-C cables from reputable manufacturers. While the USB-C jack on the phone may contain debris, this is very uncommon with USB-C, although it was common with Lightning cables.

Sorry, but this is not clear. What does this mean? Are you saying that the cable is having physical problems connecting to the iPhone? The USB-C plug is too loose? The USB-C plug won't even insert into the charging port? Some other type of physical connection issue? Port lint problems?


and charge


Sorry, but this is a symptom....not a cause. Of course there will be charging problems if there are physical connection issues with the cable connecting to the port on the iPhone.


is there a simple solution?


At this point, we don't have enough information to identify the actual problem, so a "solution" is not possible yet.
