Your iPhone X no longer charges? Your computer does not recognize your phone?
Even if your microphone no longer works when making a call, you will still need to replace the Lightning connector on your iPhone, as both components are connected to a common cable set. We will show you in our repair section how to proceed best, so you can solve the problem on your own.
We wish you success and fun during the repair! Please recommend us and our repair guide to others if it was helpful and leave us a positive evaluation.
