I own an iPad Air 2. Recently, the charging port has been “loose”: the charger keeps falling out of position and wiggling is required to get it to work right at times. There are times I walk away while it is “charging” and come back to find it not charging.

I visited an Apple Store today. Was told that my charger port “expanded” because of using non Apple chargers. Told me they don’t offer repairs but 3rd parties may be able to. I asked two phone repair kiosks. Both said they could repair, but prices given were $99 and $80.

Is there a cheaper option? Just want to know I’m not good at DIY and probably won’t have the tools necessary.
