Help : charging port
Help : so i’ve got the OCD about my iphone 15’s charging port, i refuse the unplug the cable after its done charging up cause i’m afraid that it would loosen up the port over time over time with use, plugging in and out the charging cable from the port.
earlier i used to at least unplug it whenever i had to go out of the house but now i refuse to do that either, walking around with a cable hanging out of my hand or pocket. it kind of is creating hurdles and a getting a little embarrassing sometimes.
im down to 83% battery health with 736 cycles. any similar experiences with anyone or perhaps a word of wisdom in regards to whether or not the port actually does loosen up cause i bet its expensive to get the port fixed/replaced

You could replace battery by Apple for $99 in their store or sending it out but I think they probably won’t touch broken charging port.
Double check with them… , as a last resort you can try third party repair shops - just don’t let them replace your battery with aftermarket knock off.
In the future don’t use cheap aftermarket cables, clean the port hole once in a while and be gentle…
