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.

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.

    My last phone had the same issue, actually relatively cheap to get the port replaced at one of those tech repair places

    I looked into this, but the closest to me was about 1 hour away. When I looked up the streetview, it was a guy's garage with small shady sign infront lol
