iPhone 15 Pro Max charging-port repair in Beltsville, MD

The iPhone 15 Pro Max was Apple's first Pro Max with USB-C instead of Lightning, and pocket lint packs into that port the same way. If the cable feels loose or charging keeps stopping, bring it to our Cherry Hill Road store in Beltsville. We check and clean the port first.

Signs your iPhone 15 Pro Max charging port needs a look

  • A USB-C cable that used to click in firmly now sits loose or falls out
  • MagSafe charges normally but a USB-C cable does nothing
  • A liquid-detection alert for the USB-C connector keeps coming back after the phone is dry
  • It charges only with the cable pressed to one side
  • The Mac or PC no longer sees the phone over USB-C, even with another cable

If the plug or port gets hot, smells burnt, or the phone shows a liquid or moisture alert, unplug it and stop charging it by cable, and call the store.

What to know about the iPhone 15 Pro Max

USB-C collects lint too
Apple's own first step when an iPhone won't charge is to remove any debris from the charging port. Lint packs down at the back of a USB-C port and stops the plug from seating, which is why we check and clean the port before talking about a new part.
If you see a liquid alert
On a 15 Pro Max the alert names the USB-C connector. Apple says to unplug, tap the phone gently against your hand with the port facing down, and try again after at least 30 minutes; full drying can take up to 24 hours. Don't use heat, compressed air, a cotton swab, or rice. A wireless charger still works in the meantime.
Wireless charging narrows it down
If MagSafe or Qi2 charging works and only the cable doesn't, the battery is probably fine and the port or the cable is the suspect. Tell us which chargers work when you come in.

Before you bring it in

Show the 4 steps
  1. Back up to iCloud over Wi-Fi if the phone still works: Settings > your name > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Back Up Now. A computer backup needs a working port, so iCloud is the easier route.

  2. Have your passcode ready so we can unlock the phone and test charging once the port is sorted out.

  3. Bring the cable and power adapter you use at home. We test with them as well as ours.

  4. Don't dig in the port with a pin, toothpick, or anything metal. We check and clean the port first.
