How To Check Your Charging Software
The first thing you need to do is try to locate where the problem is coming from yourself through eliminating the possible causes.
One cause of faulty charging could be that dirt or dust that has collected in the charger port of the phone. It pays to clean the ports of your iPhone every so often, including the USB port. This can be done with a cotton bud dipped in alcohol. After cleaning the charger port, the phone should be put on charge for at least twenty minutes.
Another solution for a possible software problem is trying different chargers and USB cords. The problem could lie with the chargers and USB cords rather than with the actual iPhone charging port. Switch over to different USB cords and chargers, charging your phones on them for at least twenty minutes. If you know someone who also owns an iPhone 6, try to use their charger in your phone to see if it will work.
If neither of these solutions successfully charge your phone, another option is to connect it to a computer with iTunes open on it. If iTunes does not detect or recognise the iPhone, then this points to a problem with the phone. From there on, the only further option is to bring it in to an Apple store to be evaluated.
If you find no problems with any of your charging software and the issue still persists, a hardware issue could be the problem. In this case, have it evaluated at a service centre, for the appropriate iPhone 6 repair.
A fast draining battery is a sign of hardware issues. If your are experiencing this with your phone, an iPhone 6 repair may be necessary.
