Anyone with an iPhone 15 series device find their USB-C port to be loose? When I have it plugged in the car for CarPlay my cable frequently pops out if I nudge it accidentally. I’ve tried different brands of cables, and all of them wiggle loose eventually.

For context I’m using an iPhone 15 Pro.

    Mine wouldn’t seat fully and would pop out. Debris in connector. Cleaned out with a needle and it was fine again. Go by the USB C connector seating fully. If it doesn’t, there’s something in there impeding it.

      I would suggest a toothpick next time. If you short out the right pins with a needle you can damage your phone.

        Don’t worry about it too much. As long as you don’t physically damage the pins, there is no problem. They are protected against electrical shorts.

        It’s possible to short, but the port pin outs show 2 or 3 pins between voltage lines and grounds.

        It’s a pretty small port and a toothpick doesn’t fit well around the post in the centre if you want to get to the very bottom. I borrowed a very fine sewing needle from stepmom for port cleaning duties.

        I did turn it off first though.
