iPhone 16 Pro Max Not Charging?
If your iPhone 16 Pro Max isn't charging, charges intermittently, or only charges when held at a specific angle, the problem is almost always fixable. The most common cause is a blocked or damaged USB-C port — lint and debris accumulate in the connector over time and prevent the cable from making proper contact. In most cases we can resolve this in under 15 minutes.
