Why can't I charge my iPhone 5c with the actual charger for it?

So I'm having a huge problem. My charger stopped working last night so I had to buy a new one today since I'm only at 15%. As soon as I plugged in the new lightning charger, it kept saying "This cable isn't ceritified and it won't work reliably " or something like that. I've tried everything and it won't charge. I also JUST realized that I haven't updated to the iO7.4 which might be the problem, but I'm not sure. My problem right now is that I'm already at 5% for trying and I can't update until I'm at 50% battery,
So can someone please try and help me charge my phone?

Take it all to your local Apple Store. They will take care of you. If the problem is the cable, they may replace it. If it's the phone, they probably will replace it.

Maybe your battery or your pins (where you put the charger) are damaged. Try to take it to a technical support, maybe you need a new battery. If the pins are broken, the only what they do is stick it.

First try to plug the data cable from the new charger or old one to your pc or laptop this will enable you to charge it through the usb port and you will be able to know is it the cable or the adapter that is not compatible, so then you can switch your hardware meaning you can use the old data cable with the new charger or vise versa as it will reveal after connecting it to your computer. The ios7 update is not the reason why the phone ain't charging either your bought the wrong charger or not an original one or similar to it.

  • Why won't my iPhone charge on the regular charger? I have an iPhone 3GS and I just recently updated it. The charger was working fine and now all of a sudden it won't charge on the regular charger but it will charge when I hook it up to my iPod dock. The charger works fine because it will charge my iPod touch but when I plug it into my phone it won't charge my phone.
  • Why is the actual mAh of a powerbank less than what is specified? For example, a 15,000 mAh powerbank can only fully charge an iPhone X (2716 mAh) 3 times before the powerbank needs to be recharged. My iPhone X would have only taken 8,148 mAh after its 3rd full recharge from this powerbank. This power bank is considerably new and has only been fully charged 3 times since I got it. Is it possible the battery inside the power bank still needs to be conditioned by discharging and recharging it a few times?
  • Why does an iPhone have a better flashlight than an actual flashlight? Its so sad lol, I tested out my flashlight on my iphone and it was amazing! It also had a flashlight which is like a signal and it blinks from fast to slow and also with the iphone camera you can change the brightness of the flashlight! Flashlights can't do any of that. What's your opinion?
