I've been dealing with a frustrating issue where my iPhone 11 only charges when it's positioned just right. Plus, the battery life is horrendous; it dies within an hour, sometimes even faster than it charges! I'm in a tight spot financially and can't afford a new phone, so I'm really hoping to find a solution. Any ideas?

Have you tried using different cables? Sometimes they can have a 'bad side' – I had a cable like that and just marked it to remember! A battery replacement is generally much cheaper than getting a new phone and can really breathe new life into it!
But won’t a battery replacement just ignore the problem with the charging port?
Honestly, it might be time to just get used to that specific position for charging until you can figure out a permanent fix.
That's not really helpful, though!
It sounds like you might need to clean out the charging port or even replace the battery. Sometimes the charging pins can get damaged, but make sure to check if the cable is the problem too!
I already cleaned the charging port and that didn't help at all.
Other cables don’t work at all for me.
