iPhone 5 charger

[Anonymous]

Is anyone else having problems charging there iPhone 5 up the past 2 days its hit and miss with the charger, I can get it to work eventually but it normal takes about 10 to get in a position and then not to touch it.
Is this a common? I'm book in the Genius Bar but that's on Friday shall I buy a new charger or revert back to the old style and use a micro to lighting USB that way lose the chances of a lose wire cause I've never had a problem with the old style charger...

Thanks for any help 🙂

Definitely go to the Apple store. They will check the lead and the phone.

It's easy to mix them up though as the copies usually look identical.
Strangely I have an Anker cable which works better than a genuine Apple one on an iPad mini.

@MI5 I have a few Mfi leads now and agree the anker ones are good. Just got a new usb power meter and I will be conducting soon a lead and charger comparison for use on here . 

The anker one I have is a braided outer so should be resistant to some of the usual ware and take issues of the standard lead . 

But agree with @jonsie a visit to Apple should resolve the issue

Yes, I'm sure they will happily sell you a new lead or exchange the current one if original and faulty.
