Well guys I’m at 19% and counting. My iPhone X will not charge, I just bought a brand new charger (yes Apple brand I have like four now) and it’s toasted. Going to run out and get a wireless charger and see if that works until I can get to Apple...

Before going out to get a wireless charger, go to the Settings and choose the "Reset All Settings" options, just in case it's not a hardware problem.

Did you try a reset?

Yeah tried a reset, it’s a hardware issue.
My iPhone 6 did something similar a few months after I got it. No matter what cable I used it would only charge if the lightning connector was plugged in in a certain direction. Took about 10 minutes at the Apple Store to diagnose and get a replacement phone. You shouldn't have a problem getting it replaced.

Try cleaning the charging area. Im sure there are dust stuck in there. It happens to me before with my old iPhone. I used the can air spray.

If it was me, I would make an appointment at the local Apple store Genius Bar and have them diagnose the problem.

At a 1,000 dollars for the base model of the X, let them figure it out. That’s what the warranty is for, just my two cents.

I wish you the best of luck and hope you'll keep us updated!
