How to properly plug in the iPhone charger according to Apple's recommendations

iPhone not charging is one of the most common problems, according to a former employee who was in charge of Apple's official technical service.

Especially with the Lightning cable, the 8-pin connector is responsible for contact between the cable and the iPhone to start charging. One thing that often happens is that some pins burn out.

With the introduction of iPhone 15 and USB-C, due to the different way the connector is manufactured, seeing this anomaly is rare. However, today there are still millions of iPhones that continue to use the Lightning connector as a charging method.

Apple has provided recommendations on its support page for the correct way to charge your iPhone to avoid problems with charging via Lightning. First, connect the cable to the iPhone, then connect the adapter to the power source.

Users should perform iPhone charging in this order because when we connect the cable to the iPhone, some sparks may occur and electricity flows through the air, like lightning. So, if the cable is already connected to the charger and has power, it can create a spark in the iPhone connector.

Thus, Apple's recommended steps to properly charge the iPhone to ensure there are no sparks include: Connect the Lightning or USB-C cable to the iPhone > Connect the other end to the charger > Plug the charger into the above outlet wall.
