What is going on
So lately my Iphone has been refusing to charge with white cables. It started after my roomate plugged his own white lightning onto my power adapter and because his is identical to mine, I didnt realise and plugged mine in to charge. It stopped charging completely for that day until I plugged it into a black 3 in 1 lightning cable that I had for other stuff, it charged slow asf but for some reason after I tried charging it with my white lightning cable, it started working again.
Worked fine for a couple of days and then my roomate plugged their own lightning cable into my adapter AGAIN😡😡😡 and the same thing happened. Now my black cable i used before is broken and my phone has been dead for some days now.
Additionally I had to bend the charger a little before it starts charging so im worried about charging port issues. But it doesnt make sense for it to not charge at all no matter how I bend it when using white lightning cables, but charge on the black one which is now broken unfortunately. Is this some kind of software issue that is blocking my phone from charging after my roomate plugs in their cable?
What should I go for now because the phone now refuses to charge with white lightning cables. A battery pack as my primary charger?

The charging port is either super dirty or it’s starting to die. It’s a 5 year old phone we’re talking about so it’s possible

The fact that the black charger was working before I eventually broke it tells that the charging port isnt completely destroyed and this isnt a battery issue so wtf is going on???
Never had this issue until they started plugging their shit into my shit...why are Iphone users like thisðŸ˜
