I got my 13 Pro a two months ago and all was good. It's a great phone and had been loving it, at first. However, I started encountering issues with charging with the lightning port on my 13 Pro, where charging would immediately stop and restart (often in less than a second). I discovered several reddit threads with people explaining the same issue:

And I thought, "okay, whatever, maybe this could be software. Let's wait, especially since stock is scarce." I waited from 15.1 all the way up to 15.2, with the same issues. This is what I've tried so far:
I tried going to the Apple Store and,
I have not returned yet to the Apple Store. I do not want to wait weeks for a replacement phone. I have also seen on reddit that people who have gotten their replacements have the same issues, which statistically speaking, is just very improbable unless this is a widespread issue.

I am creating this thread to determine how common it is. If anyone has encountered this issue, please reply especially if you have proof. Attached is two instances where this has been happening, and you can clearly see the battery indicator changing (screen recording).

And I thought, "okay, whatever, maybe this could be software. Let's wait, especially since stock is scarce." I waited from 15.1 all the way up to 15.2, with the same issues. This is what I've tried so far:
- Used genuine Apple cable and adapter across several different AC plugs around my house, same issue.
- Used another genuine Apple cable and adapter across different ports, same issue.
- Tried wiggling around the cable inside the plug to see if I would encounter disconnects, and it doesn't happen all the time but it does happen when the issues begin to appear beforehand. It's really strange. I was also unable to replicate this in-store.
- Tried USB-A cable and genuine Apple 5W adapter, same issue.
- Tried USB-A cable for data transfer, transfered some files while wiggling the cable in the port, this went fine, no drops or disconnects with data.
I tried going to the Apple Store and,
- Got told it is a software issue because "it doesn't happen all the time." (I don't even want to share my opinion on this statement.)
- Got told to restore the phone as new and to come back if the issue persists. I have several videos already.
