iPhone 13 mini / 13 / 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max Charging Port Flex

If an iPhone 13 needs its cable held at just the right angle to charge, or a computer stops recognising it, the charging port flex at the bottom of the phone is the likely cause.

This listing has the charging port flex for the iPhone 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, offered by model and colour. The mini and 13 come in Starlight, Midnight, Blue, Pink, Red and Alpine Green, and the Pro models in Graphite, Silver, Sierra Blue, Gold and Alpine Green. No maker is named, so it's treated as aftermarket.

Why people replace it

• The charger only works at a certain angle.

• Lightning plugs feel loose or fall out.

• Charging has failed completely.

• The port is corroded after a spill.

Before and after

Lint packed in the port is a common culprit, so clear it out with a wooden or plastic pick first. If that doesn't help, the flex needs replacing.

Reaching it means opening the phone and removing the speaker. After fitting, check charging, syncing with a computer and the microphone on a call. Order the model and colour that match your phone.
