Best Solution

Power down your iPhone before cleaning. Use a non-conductive tool like a wooden toothpick, plastic SIM ejector stick, or a small anti-static brush to gently scrape out compressed pocket lint and debris from the base of the port. Avoid metal tools, safety pins, or paperclips to prevent bending or shorting internal pin contacts.
