went and got my phone repaired the other day. They are like "We will take it out the back and clean it" i was like "yeah i tried that, but by all means have a crack". Meanwhile they have the new iPhones sitting on the table for you to play with and maaaaaaaan that display is nice! even gives you a "what would it cost if you trade your phone in" turns out yeah still 1600 bucks if I trade mine in. Nice display but we might wait for the new one to come out and buy the old one on the cheap

Also turns out it was just fluff in the charging port. The IT Engineer folks, how the mighty have fallen.

I have to get a fine sewing needle out and occasionally have a careful pick and scrape. It's amazing the pocket fluffy that comes out.

yeah I use a sim tray ejector. Apple told me off for this though, they said it might damage the pins which is probably fair.

Toothpick would probs work as well with less chance of shorting the pins.
