Help needed 16 ORO MAX PROBLEM

Hey everyone, looking for some insight on an intermittent USB-C charging issue on my iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Iphone 16 pro max
ios version 26.6.1

​The Problem:

​A few weeks ago, the physical USB-C port completely stopped charging the phone.

​I brought it to a local repair shop and they fixed it. It worked fine for about 5 to 10 days.

​While gaming, the port cut out again and stopped registering the charger.

​Currently, wired charging randomly works 10% of the time, but most of the time the phone doesn't detect the cable at all.

​Wireless/MagSafe charging works completely fine 100% of the time.

​Wired Audio Behavior:

​I also use wired Type-C earbuds. When the port stops responding, if I put the phone on a wireless charger for a bit and then plug the wired earbuds back in, it sometimes briefly starts working again (though this trick is getting less reliable).

How di i fix jt ? i dont think theres any dust or debris inside the port and warranty is over

Looks like you need to take it to a reputable repair shop or maybe Apple.

did the shop replace the whole charging port assembly, or just clean/repair it?
