Use a toothpick to clean out your iPhone

The lightning port on your iOS device can become clogged over time. CNET's Dan Graziano shows you how to clean it out.

*To be safe, you should back up your iPhone*
Me: AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT

The good old days when you could charge and listen to music at the same time

Wow, I just did this and I can't believe how much dust was stuck in there.

I pulled out enough lint to knit a sweater! My phone works again. Thank you

[fedeabascal]

So happy this worked! I tried multiple times with toothbrush, tissue... with temporary/partial fixes. Now I did it with a toothpick with no mercy. It's working again as new, no more charging nightmares :-)

I dropped my note 3 in sour cream and spent a hour using a toothpick cleaning it all out

[kshmapandes]

Does this trick works on any iPhone models???

[kiddkevo]

Bruh, I love you (no homo). You saved my life. I was going to take my phone to Apple to get it fixed but nah. Thanks again

[ipodtouchhelper]

It works! Was actually thinking of getting a new phone because of the charging issue but no longer need to

If you’re worried about using a toothpick and damaging the inside, roll up a piece of tissue paper or even notepad paper until it’s tight and drag it around inside. It’s a little flimsier but more gentle than a toothpick and does the same job.

I'm suing you if my port gets fucked up even more and I can't get a replacement

[iPlayDirtyOG]

This actually worked, thanks for the video, I got a little bit out and tried and didn't work first time, just keep trying and it will eventually work I done it for around 3 minutes and was using a torch to see the dust.

My iphone charges becomes low while charging sometimes help me and tell me what to do

[coltonburn]

Whats the thing on his camera lens at the beginning of the video?

[simonamonaetna]

Can I clean with wooden toothpick the speaker (little holes in the bottom of the iPhone)?

[MrGaugeBoson]

How big is the chance that you ruin any if the contacts?

[UtubeMaster]

I thought I was gonna have to replace my charging port for $75 but then I found this video. Hell yeah!

[trinamartinez]

and one question?my iPad shows that is charging but it gos to the apple log in and it turn off agent

[Angel-Sarai]

i used the end of a clean earring, and then straight after that i used a pin and was too rough i think?? cause it has to be at a certain angle again..

[potatoesmashymash]

Can I use one of those flosses that have the pointy end? I don't have any toothpicks or compressed air at the moment.
