My Iphone 6 seems to have developed a problem with the charging port. Will not charge, even with different cables and adapters. Wont charge on laptop or even connect to laptop. Have done all routine checks such as making sure port is clean etc. Have also done hard reset to no avail. There is a way of doing a software reset through itunes but as my phone wont even connect on pc this is no good. So the only option I see is to take it to Apple. But this worries me as its now about 4 years old and I dont want to have to pay a fortune. Should I go to Apple or just give up on it and upgrade
I started out with nothing......And still have most of it left:p

    Go into Apple, odds are you’ve got some compacted fluff in the port and they are quite good at cleaning it out.

    Just take it to them and explain the issue eg it wont charge, they will have a look and tell you whats the issue.
