Ipad port continues breaking (?)

This is my 3rd ipad (within about 1 1/2 years) and the charging port has broken or become faulty every single time. I first used it normally as you would with any ipad (ie. using while charging, occasionally leaving it charging for periods of time ect.) and the port broke, not a problem, I was told it was a faulty model and it was replaced. 2nd time around I kept the ipad charging on its own, didn't use it at all while charging, it had its own charging station that was not bothered. Another faulty port within a few months. Went to the apple store (I had gone to a best buy recommended by apple previously) and was told the ports on the ipad pros were not very durable. I was given 500$ in trade-in value for the product, and promptly bought a new one.


Now we're here (with the newest model ipad) and i've been using it while plugged into an outlet, leaving it alone; standard things again. And i've noticed the ipad is beginning to stop responding to the charger. I stopped and questioned it a bit, but simply moved over to a new charger and the problem seemed to be solved. However, now the charger is unable to be used while charging, and creates a strange static noise if i attempt to use it.

I apologize for such a long post! id like to know if anyone had any ipad care tips or any idea what i'm doing wrong. I have apple care on this product (learned my lesson) but i'd like an opinion on if what's happening to it is an issue with the ipad, or am i abusing it somehow?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Greetings seoksoo, 


If your iPad is not charging we’re going to recommend that you begin with the steps in the following article to isolate the situation - If your iPad won't charge


Should the issue persist and is isolated to your iPad itself, then connect with Apple Support on the matter. You’ll find a link in that article, plus here are some more ways -
