This is the second time this has happened to me. My iPhone 13 failed for
the same reason, which is why I upgraded to the iPhone 14. In the meantime
I have a work issued iPhone 11 that uses the same exact cord for charging
and is still going strong all these years.

My charging port has stopped working or worked intermittently a couple
of times. Both times it turned out to be a buildup of dust inside the
socket, probably due to me carrying the phone around in my pocket.
Using a combination of a watchmakers screwdriver and a pair of pointed tweezers I was able to remove most of it and got it working again.

This is again a typical "badgolferman-claim". Nothing but
bullshit. In our family with about 20-30 iPhones in the last
15 years we never experienced a similar issue. I simply do not
believe him one single word.
FWIW, the charging port on my last iPhone did stop working. It
might have been caused by a dust build-up from my pocket too,
also I think I got water in it.
The battery is down to 88% already, but the tech told me Apple
doesn’t recommend changing the battery until it gets below 80%.

The battery in my iPhone 14 Pro, purchased October 2022, is now down to maximum capacity 86%, which severely limits the length of any charge. I
must say that I'm surprised at this after only 18 months. Oh well. And
I'm not a troll, my name isn't the mythical "Arlen", and my battery
really is down to 86%.

You simply mistreated the battery of your phone. Quite simple. My iPhone
14 is running 24/7 since I bought it in November 22. The battery
performance level is still 100% according to the device.

Very probable! Wireless charging kills phone batteries because it is so inefficient that it heats up the battery to not so healthy temps. And
since you bought it roughly 500 times. And do not discharge the phone
until it turns itself off and do not leave it on the charger longer than necessary and do not let it lay around in the sun or a hot car.

It sits on a "wireless" charger every night? I would say yes, that is killing
it. Heat.
I have an 8 Plus (6.5 years old) that is at 99%. Granted it does not get much
use these days. My work-issued 12 Pro Max (3.5 years old and sees lots of use) is at 91%.
I don't charge them daily. I charge them when they get down to around 50%. I use iPad chargers since it charges faster.
Personally I would never use "wireless" charging.

I call bullshit. No matter how well you treat a battery it *will* lose capacity over time. In nearly 18 months of regular use the battery
will have lost at least a few percent.
