    There’s probably dust or dirt in the lightening port. Hold it under a lamp and use a pin to scoop it out.

    Had the same problem with mind.

    I used to wrap the lead around the phone to keep pressure on the pins.

    In the end I just got the port replaced

    Would definitely say its dirt or dust, used to always happen to my iphone 5, seems to be prone to it, use a wooden toothpick to clear it, non conductive so you wont do any damage
