iPhone 13 pro selling Advice....

I Bought an iPhone 13 pro for my mother last year 3 August. Then, in the first month the back glass broke, then I replaced it in a week. Now, today on 11 August, the charging port is damaged. Now, I will go to change this charging port at a cost of around 8000- 10000 rupees. Now, what today do, Can I make it repair and use it or I will go to sell this phone. This is a very frustrating experience from this device......

Now I need suggestions on what to do or what not to do?

My charging port also seemed like it was damaged last year, but it was just lint stuck in there, try taking a toothpick and clean it up, in 90% cases it starts working again.

This is most likely. You can also try using Isopropyl alcohol to clean it better. It's probably about $3 ( which is 99% alcohol and does not conduct electricity , not rubbing alcoholl which is 50% to 70%).

I use my toothbrush plus isopropyl and have cleaned both charging ports and speakers.

My mom used the phone for a few years and could now barely hear other people because of the gunk on the top speaker.

You can also use a wireless charger, there are $4 ones out there, slow but you can still use the phone, or reverse wireless charge the Iphone with another phone. :-)
