Anyone with an iPhone 15 series device find their USB-C port to be loose? When I have it plugged in the car for CarPlay my cable frequently pops out if I nudge it accidentally. I’ve tried different brands of cables, and all of them wiggle loose eventually.
For context I’m using an iPhone 15 Pro.
I would suggest a toothpick next time. If you short out the right pins with a needle you can damage your phone.
Don’t worry about it too much. As long as you don’t physically damage the pins, there is no problem. They are protected against electrical shorts.
