Metal fell out of charging port
A small piece of metal fell out of my iphone 12 pro charging port. It looks like a half square. What is this? And does my phone need it?
Is this a good question?

Having worked on a lot of iPhones, I can't think of any part of the phone that could fall out of a charging port. Does the phone still charge? Because anything from the phone itself that came out of there would have to be part of the port itself, in which case I doubt you'd still be able to charge it.
However, my best guess here is that it's the broken off tip of a charging cord. If you compare that square with the end of a good cord (the part that actually inserts into the phone), I'm betting it'll look the same. If that's the case, somewhere out there is a cord missing its end, may it rest in pieces.

Thank you soo much!!! I was about to purchase a new phone, but I found the cord that was missing the end piece and it is now resting in pieces!
Awesome, Sandra! Glad we could help!

Hi @jswork,
It's really hard to tell without us being able to see what you're looking at. Can you post a picture of the piece for us?
