I need advice on how to fix an iPhone earphone jack.

Don't use ear phones that are not compatible with the iPhone, because it may not work right or damage the port if you jam it in.

It is Apple approved ear phones.

Have you dropped the iPhone in water recently?

If I had, I wouldn't be asking about the ear phone jack.

If you had put it in a bag of rice to dry it out, the bits of rice tend to get into the ports and plugs, which can cause it not to work right until cleaned out.

With a paper clip?

No, use a tooth pick or else you will damage it for good. And while it is rare that you need to clean it of greasy finger prints, that's something to check the earphones' plug for.

I may need to clean it out anyway just in case there's lint in there from my pocket.

If you had water damage, the ear phone might work after everything dried out too. And make sure the earphone jack is plugged in all the way.

I've tried that and it isn't working. And before you ask, no the plug on the ear phones is not obviously bent or damaged, so that's not why it isn't working.

If the iPhone doesn't recognize the ear phones, it may have a damaged plug on the earphones, so you should try other ear phones before you start dinking with the phone itself.

It is the jack, not the ear phones.

You can also know it is a problem with the audio jack because the audio cuts in and out or doesn't have any audio, though the loud speaker may not work, too, when the jack is broken.

That can also be a problem with the volume or the headset.

If the iPhone thinks the headphones are plugged in but aren't, you know the head phone jack is damaged.

Then how do I fix it?

For the iPhone 5, the head phone jack is part of the dock assembly, so you have to disassemble the phone to replace it.

That'll void the warranty.

If you have an iPhone 5, it may not be under warranty anyway. You have to get a replacement dock, suction cups, spudger tool, Phillips screw driver 000.

I would be spending as much on tools that I hope never to have to use again as the cost to pay Apple to fix it. And I have an iPhone 6.

You still need a screw driver good for the iPhone, spudger, the iPhone 6 lighting connector and headphone jack and opening tools.

The only difference between the five and six, then, is the name of the tools and hardware.

If you do this a lot, a tool like the isclack is used to do this without damaging things.

That would be the last thing I'd want to be seen taking into an Apple store.

There's also the solution of buying a new iPhone.

Paying for repairs is still cheaper right now.
