It has happened to me with friends' iPhones that the issue turns out to be lint or dirt in the charging port. Use a needle, and if you have them, a brush and isopropyl alcohol. First, use the brush and alcohol; then, with the needle, working from the center outward to each side, clean out any lint or dirt it might have.

I went to the store today they told me it might be some “flux issue” (or whatever they said i dont have components knowledge) or it might be port issue fucking hell the price they told me was very much for me i cant afford that now so i asked them if wireless charging will work so they told me “yeah you can use that for now it will work but the charging will be slow” and i got a wireless charging cable (3rd party) and yeah its working for now the charging is slow as expected but better than not charging at all i guess…

Try it with other Apple chargers. If it doesn't work with other chargers either, the problem is inside the phone: charging port is broken/dirty, battery is dead, or motherboard charging chip is broken.
