Is my phone broken? (alien.top)

I have no idea where else to go, sorry to barge into this reddit with hundreds of questions.

For the last week I’ve noticed that my two year old iPhone 12 Pro Max has not been charging at night, which is a problem I’ve never had before. My battery capacity is 81%, it should still charge.

Tonight I was charging it in the car and it suddenly started tremoring, it sounded like one of those joke buzzers when you hold the button down. My screen flashed green on the side so I unplugged it fast. Now it’s at home charging but won’t seem to hold the battery percentage very long, it’s dying quickly. What the fuck is going on?

Clean the lint out of your charging port.

The buzzing is from the connection ALMOST making it and disconnecting and reconnecting over and over. Turn your phone off if using a metal tool or paper clip.

Crap that’s compacted in the charge port. It will Look ok but you will realise there is a tonne of crap in there.

If you charger cable is slightly wobbly or loose or comes out easily that’s another sign stuffs packed in there.
