Is anyone having trouble with the lightning connector on the iPhone 6s? I am using an apple usb cord to charge the phone and sometimes I get a message that says the accessory is not supported by iphone and it may not charge the phone. I would pull out the cord and insert it again, wiggle it a little and it would then start charging.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Usually when you have to "wiggle" the connector to get the phone to recognize it, that indicates an obstruction in the lightning port. Try cleaning with a wooden or plastic toothpick. If that doesn't resolve the issue, try a different charging brick, USB source, or cable.

This is good advice. A co-worker just came to me with a similar complaint and I was amazed at the junk that I pulled out of the lightning port.
