When inserting the charger there is a bit of play (sidewards) and I have to adjust the charging lead until it picks up the lead properly/battery charge indicator comes on. Am concerned I won’t be able to charge at all in the future.
I know I can do this myself but would rather not.
Thanks.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52214198","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"steve765"},"datePublished":"2024-02-16T13:24:07.000Z","text":"I don’t have any Apple coverplan. Am concerned won’t be able to charge in the future and may lose important info on my phone if I do it myself. Or get a 3rd party person to do it. Unless they are very well recommended.
I have an Android phone I can/will start to use. I just don’t want to lose charging my iPhone completely.
All help appreciated. Thanks."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52216157","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"666FU"},"datePublished":"2024-02-16T18:21:21.000Z","text":"This is an 8 year old phone which can be replaced for £30.
Why on earth would anyone want to much around fixing it.
