We all have to charge our iPhones and quite often too. The constant multitasking and apps running in the background tend to use up the battery quicker than ever. If you have ever used Google Now over and extended period of time on your iPhone then you will know exactly what we mean. A lot of people have started to notice that their iPhones aren't charging as they should. Phones that are left to charge aren't charging and Lightning cables that are expected to deliver the much needed juice are simply failing. Others have reported that the Lightning connectors are moving around inside their iPhones a little too much and these aren't the cheap knock off cables either.
If this is something that you are familiar with, we have a fix. It won't cost you anything and it doesn't take long to do either. It should hopefully make your lightning cable fit a bit better too. We came across this tip on Reddit and it makes great sense. The thread was started by someone who found that his iPhone 5 was refusing to charge and, luckily for him, he happened to be at dinner with someone who worked for Apple.
According to the Reddit thread, the charging problem was fixed by taking a toothpick to the Lightning port and, after a little prodding and probing, relieved it of all its lint. That's the pocket link that our iPhones get subjected to every time we put them in our pockets. Obviously enough, it gets into all the nooks and crannies of our smartphones and that includes the Lightning port so that the cables won't fit in properly.
We tested this with an iPhone 5 that we have that has been a little iffy when it comes to charging and it worked. If you are facing the same problem with an iPhone 5s, 5c, fifth generation iPod touch or one of the iPads with the new lightning port then this little trick should work a treat. Let us know in the comments if it solves your problem or if you have come up with another solution.
