Will Apple repair my iPhone X under warranty (4th pin on lightning cable black and only charges on one side)?

I had my iPhone X's lightning port cleaned with compressed air that may have allowed a small blob of grease to be blown into the lightning port. I noticed that it was a bit hard to press in the lightning cable and that there was some orange blob that came out of the iPhone X with the lightning cable. I'm now stuck with a shorted 4th pin on the lightning cable and that the iPhone only charges from one side of the cable.

I'm guessing a foreign object was blown into the port before the lightning cable was inserted, shortening pin #4 on the lightning cable.

I might be wrong about this since it appears to be a common problem with lightning cables, but who knows

Is it more likely a faulty iPhone or lightning cable.

It doesn't look like it… But YMMV. You'll obviously have to contact Apple for verification.

I just called Apple, and they said "no," emphatically, "no." You're rather clueless for an "IT guy."

Ask the same question at an Apple store.

  • Iphone usb cable only charges? There's this iphone/ipod/etc cable i can connecct with my iphone. Nonetheless, it works flawlessly to charge.
