I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max that has suddenly stopped charging through the charging port. It only charges wirelessly now. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know of a potential fix? I've tried several different chargers and blocks but nothing seems to be working.

It sounds like it might be lint or dust in the charging port. You can try using a toothpick, just like GadgetGuru suggested, to see if there's anything stuck in there. Don't push too hard; just check for obstructions at the back of the port.
Have you checked the charging port for any debris? It's common for stuff to get stuck in there and prevent proper charging. If you see anything, try using a wooden toothpick to gently clean it out. Just be super careful not to push anything deeper inside!
No, the phone is literally a week old, so I’ve been really careful with it.
I didn't see anything in there. I'll take another look—it's just frustrating since the phone is only a week old.
