iPhone 14 pro stopped charging by cable after IOS 26

Hi, I've got a problem with my iphone - it doesn't charge anymore with the lightining conector after I updated it to the new IOS. I tried many chargers, even the original one - it doesn't charge - at first, it showed that it's connected and it's charging (but the battery just got lower and lower) and today it completely stopped indicating the connection to the cable. My magsafe charger is working soundly but I'm not able to charge it outside home by cable, not even with portable charger. As soon as I could, I updated it to 26.0.1 but nothing changed, its even worse. Is there anything I can do so that the iPhone can get charged by cable or is it just that the new update screwed up my phone? Thanks

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 26

If you’ve used multiple cables, then your Lightning port needs to be examined by a qualified technician. It could be something as simple as accumulated dirt and debris or a defective port and require a repair.
