I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

Bought myself a wireless charger but I never use it because I just plug in my phone anyways cause it's faster.

My last 2 phones stopped charging through the ports. Keep that wireless charger, it may come in handy. Saved me from buying a new phone for at least a year.

Make sure there's no lint and dust compacted in the bottom of the port if you haven't already. It isn't always entirely obvious but it can affect both lightning and USB-C and you can usually get it out with some careful use of a sewing needle.

Yup this is definitely the first thing to check. Unfortunately I think it was my need for bulky un-destructible cases, that bent my charging ports.
