iPhone 15 connector won’t stay in

The USB C connector keeps pushing itself out of my iPhone 15 - or its hard to push in and stay there.


i assume there is dirt in the socket but try as I might I cannot see any and the advice I’ve read is to not stick anything in to clean it out.


What should I do?


Yes, I have an inductive charger but it is slow and gets really hot. I want a solution for the connector.

The solution is to take your iPhone to your local Apple Store (Genius Bar) or Apple Authorized Service Provider to have them take a look and provide you with your options.


You are correct in that you shouldn't use anything that can further damage the phone's port. Some have founding using something like a plastic toothpick may do the trick, but without actually seeing what you are up against, I would strongly recommend that you take your phone in for service.
