I've been having a really frustrating issue with my iPhone charger. I often have to press and wiggle the charger between 10 to 300 times before it starts charging my phone. I tried using the same charger on my mom's iPad, and it works perfectly right away. What could be causing this problem with my phone's charging?

Ugh, I feel you! Nothing is worse than dealing with a charger that refuses to cooperate. Have you tried using a different cable? Sometimes the cables wear out and can cause these issues. If that's not it, it might be time for a repair visit.
It sounds like your charging port might be dirty or blocked. Try cleaning it out gently with a toothpick or a soft brush to remove any dust or lint. A clean port can often make a big difference!
By which means? Any specific tools I should use?
It could be a sign that your charger or the phone's charge port is failing. If your phone has wireless charging, you might want to use that as a temporary fix. Otherwise, consider getting the charger or the port checked out.
