IPhone 5 charger won't work after iOS 7 update?

I've had so many problems with my previous apple chargers (the cord kept bending) so I bought one from walmart. It worked really good for a long time. Last night i updated my phone to iOS 7.1.7 (i think thats what the update is) and now it won't even recognize that my phone is plugged in. I tried turning my phone on and off, plugging it into several places in the wall and my laptop, and my phone is now dead! Is getting a new charger the only option?

Auralie,
Sorry to hear about your plight. There's a big reason why I don't use anything from Apple. You are not the only one that has problems with their iphones and ipads etc. The charger problem is one of them. Wow! What a sneaky way for Apple to make you want a new device because your old one quit working. Honestly, I can't tell you how you might fix that problem. I also believe if you take it to an Apple store that they will probably want to charge you for a fix or will want to sell you a new one. Really sad. Personally I think that an Android is a better device. I don't even use one of those. I use a nice Tracfone. I don't text or message or go online with it even though it does all very well. I just use it as a phone only. I use my home computer ar laptop for all of the other stuff. I'm also not a Microsoft fan. I'm an open source fan and I use Linux and Unix operating systems for very good reasons. Anyway, I doubt that this helps you much but I wish you the best with this matte.
Take care young lady.
PS: I have heard that even a new charger won't solve the problem. Again, I wish you the bast.

  • Why won't my AUX cable work in my car after iOS 6 update? Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6, I have been unable to play music in my car (Kia Soul) with the AUX cable. I know of people who have experienced this same problem too. Anybody know what happened and how I can fix it? Much appreciated.
  • Why doesn't my iphone 3 work anymore after ios update? It recently showed on my iphone to update.So, I did and now my phone just flashes the apple sign every 5 seconds, then blank screen for 5 seconds and so on. I tried holding the reset for 10 seconds and no luck. I now have a feeling this update is for only the new iPhones. If that's the case, I really wish it didn't show up on my iphone 3. I guess that's apples way to buy new products from them? I really hope someone can help.
