Why won't my iPhone charger charge my phone?

I've had some problems with my charger for a little while now and it has gotten to the point where it just won't charge my phone now. I'm actually not even sure if it's the charger or the phone itself. It used to be that I had to plug in, and then unplug, and plug in the charger on the phone end into the phone for it to recognize it and start charging. Today it is much worse because it would charge for a minute and then just stop. And now it won't charge it or recognize it no matter what I do.

I think I have an extra USB cord from my iPod at home so I could use that for now I'm sure but I just wanted to know if anyone has had this happen before, if it's fixable or not? I may just have to buy a new one.

P.S. It's not the wall jack that is the issue. This happens no matter where I plug it in, even if I plug the USB into my computer, it doesn't work.

Added (1). P.S.S. On the end that plugs into my phone, the white rubber on the cord looks squiggly as if there are loose or somewhat broken wires in there from the way I hold my phone when it's charging to that could easily be the issue… Lol

Same thing is happening to me

I have the SAME exact problem too! And I really don't want to waste money buying a new one

Perhaps you need to replace the cord?

i know of a site that sells them very cheap

  • Is it okay to use the android phone charger's adapter to charge the iPhone? I bought an iPhone from a foreign country and the charger's adapter is not suitable with the power port in my country, So I'm using the Android charger's adapter to connect the one end of the lightning cable and the other end to my iPhone. Both adapters were giving 5v electric current. Will this give any problem in future?!
