The charging port on my iPhone 14 has gone bad already. I’ve tried several
cords including Apple ones and they don’t work. I was forced to go to
Walmart last night at 10:30pm and get a wireless charger.

Of course the warranty has ended and I don’t have Apple Care, but I used
Apple’s service app to find an authorized service center near me and make
an appointment for Monday, rather than the Genius Bar which is 30+ miles
away.

This is the second time this has happened to me. My iPhone 13 failed for
the same reason, which is why I upgraded to the iPhone 14. In the meantime
I have a work issued iPhone 11 that uses the same exact cord for charging
and is still going strong all these years.

 My charging port has stopped working or worked intermittently a couple
of times. Both times it turned out to be a buildup of dust inside the
socket, probably due to me carrying the phone around in my pocket.
 Using a combination of a watchmakers screwdriver and a pair of pointed
tweezers I was able to remove most of it and got it working again.

This is again a typical "badgolferman-claim". Nothing but bullshit. In our family with about 20-30 iPhones in the last 15 years we never experienced a similar issue. I simply do not believe him one single word.
