Iphone stopped charging after a year and a half?

Question

I got my iphone right when it first came out. And it's been getting harder and harder to charge it. I bought new chargers and they worked..for a while. I had to keep getting new ones. Now it won't charge at all. I hooked it up to the USB in my computer: nothing.

Ipod dock: nothing.

2 apple chargers: nothing

a second charger I just bought: NOTHING

I cannot charge it anymore. I'm thinking my battery probably failed? and my iphone's down to 10%. what should I do? I reset it multiple times and it stayed the same. I'm pretty sure the warranty expired too. help, please =[ <33

Answer 1

right, batteries have a limited life. The iphones battery is rated at 500 charges before it needs replaced.

Your battery is dead.

take your phone to genius bar with $85 + tax and youll get your phone in 3 days.

Answer 2

Sometimes the phone wont charge unless you turn it off and back on.  Hold down the power until the slide shows then slide to power it off.  If that doesn&#039;t work you can either go to the genius bar to get the battery replaced for $85 or do it yourself since it&#039;s out of warranty.  Several places sell kits for about $25 that let you do it yourself.
