iPhone 14 Pro Max Lightning Cable & Charging Port question

[0043566]

Hello. I have a few questions regarding chargers. Will using old lightning cables damage my new iPhone 14 Pro Max’s charging port? There are worn out/corroded marks right below the white rectangle on the old charging cable I own, does that scratch, scrape, dent, or damage the surrounding metals or metallic pins inside the charging port

I am now using the new USB-C charging cable in the box that came with the new phone.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yes........... maybe.......... I guess.

I’ve never inspected my lightning cables for corrosion. I don’t see any corrosion in that picture but if it worries you then toss the cable. Perhaps try to clean it first?
