Pocket lint in the charging port. You need something plastic and small to scrape it out.

Check the charge port for lint. A toothpick is perfect for digging it out.

Yup shit always gets in my wife and my iPhone charging hole.

For me it was a piece of weed. Lol.

Does yours do that super annoying thing where the battery will usually last down to 1% change before dying, but sometimes as you’re using it it’ll die at like 7% or something?

Mine’s always been in a case with a water-resistant plug over the ports. Never had the lint issue.

Probably a bad connector on the phone. I know several people who had the connector fail on their iPhone 5/5s.

No mine has never died at low battery life

I usually turn it off when it hits 1%

It’s pretty obnoxious.
