I have an iPhone 12 that was charging fine until today when I tried to plug it in at a different location, and now it won't charge at all. I've already tried cleaning the charging port, updating the phone, and even switched out the charging cable, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do?

It sounds like your charging port might need to be replaced since you've already tried a bunch of troubleshooting steps. If it suddenly stopped after moving it, it's probably a hardware issue rather than software. Make sure the charging port is really clear—sometimes lint can build up and looks clean but isn't. You could also try using a different charger brick, just in case. If everything else fails, using wireless charging might help, but it sounds like you might have a damaged port, and you'll likely need a repair.
Definitely check the port again. Just because you cleaned it doesn't mean there isn't any lint packed in there—try using a non-metal tool like a wooden toothpick to gently dig out any debris. Also, try charging it at different angles to see if it works because that could mean the port is worn. If those don't work and you can't use wireless charging, it looks like you may have to consider getting the port repaired.
