Have a look in the port to see if it needs cleaning out. If it looks completely clean it might be a sign that there's a hardware fault with the port. Having Apple examine it might be the best option at that point.
Thanks! I took a pin and softly went inside the port and indeed there was debris. Probably lint from my cotton work shorts
I'll try and keep the phone out just not sure how.
Thanks again. Hope this solves the error.
