I have a related query. About a week ago my lightning devices started to cease charging. By plugging them in again I can succeed in getting a charge but it’s erratic. I have three chargers and I have tried all of them and have similar results. This would suggest that there is something wrong with either the cable or the sockets in the devices. I noticed that one of the gold strips on one of my cables had become brown. I stopped using it. I am wondering if particles of the gold on this cable have become stuck in the sockets of more than one of my devices. Advice anyone?
