Wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

I’ve had absolutely no luck at all with the 8. Bought it just after launch. First handset had a freezing issue. Second handset had a charging issue. Now the third handset has the exact same charging issue. It’s like the charger is losing connection.

I’ve changed the cable and plug. All Apple certified. Changed the plug tower I use in case it was that. It happens wherever I plug it in. Even in a friends house.

Have uploaded a crappy quality vid to show what I mean. I know quality is crap but I took it on my iPad at 4am. Not dropped the phone or anything.



Anyone else heard of this issue? I am starting to wonder what I’m doing wrong.
 
I assume I must be the only one then given the lack or replies.
 
Did you clean the lint out of the lightning port?
Try wireless charging?

There’s no lint in the port.

I don’t have a wireless charger and even if I did I need to reliably charge wherever I go. Not to have to carry a wireless charger around.
