I was watching videos on my iPhone 12, and suddenly it just died on me. I plugged it in, and after a few minutes it turned back on, but the battery was still showing 1% and it said it wasn't charging. Then it shut off again. This keeps happening—turns on for a moment, shows 1%, then shuts off. I don't think it's the charger since it works fine with my brother's phone. What do you think I should do?

Have you tried wireless charging? That could help figure out if there's an issue with your charging port or cable.
It might be charging too slowly. The safety feature tries to retain some battery power but fails if the charger or cable isn’t supplying enough power. Test with another cable/charger and leave it plugged in longer.
Try letting it charge for a few hours before turning it back on. Sometimes, booting up can use more power than what's available. If that doesn’t help, your battery might be dead.
Sounds like your battery might be done for. When you reboot, the phone uses battery power briefly, and if the battery can't provide enough juice, it shuts off. Do you know what your battery health was like before this happened?
Check if the charging port is clean; dust can mess with the connection. Give it a clean and see if that helps. Otherwise, it might be a sign that you need a new battery!
