Pro tip: 95% of the problems with the power connectors are due to dust trapped inside the charge hole. Yes, there is a lot of dust in there, even if you can't see it. No worries though. You can solve that problem in 2 minutes. Here's how:
1 take a clip, or something similar (thin and rigid) and use it to dig out the dust from the connector hole in your phone
2 be surprised at how much dust you actually find
3 keep digging out the dust
4 your phone is as new! Try charging it and you will see that it won't disconnect randomly anymore.
Hope it helps :)
p.s: We charge 10-15 euros for that in the store, and obviously don't tell how easily we got it fixed to the customer. I know, it's funny and infuriating.
- ChuckNorris89 7y agoI wouldn't recommend digging inside the power connector with a metal clip. A spurt of canned air followed by digging with a toothpick wrapped in cotton and damped with ethyl alcohol does magic.
- 8draco8 7y agoWhen I had problem with charging on my iPhone 6 I've went to Apple Store with that and "genius" at Apple Store literally told me to use SIM removal tool to dig it out and then he proceed to do it on my phone as I watched. Pins are only on one side so as long as you be careful and not bend them you will be fine.

- ajmurmann 7y agoWow, thanks! I used a can of air, almost no dust at all came out, but it's fixed. So silly! Thank you very much! Now I'm likely gonna hold off for another year with upgrading from my 6S.
