So, by updating the software, your iPhone software helps to get recognized that its connected to a power source which starts the charging on your iPhone. It mostly happens with people who have old models of iPhone and they didn’t update it with the new software. (It helped me personally. I updated my iphone5 and it starts getting charged again.)
7. Try restoring your iPhone in DFU mode
It’s the safest mode of getting phone restored (in normal restore function, you erase all the data on your iPhone and restore it to factory setting), in this it will store your data on laptop and after performing erase function it helps you in restoring your data totally on your iPhone and fix every issue.

So, it’s luck.
