Bent lightning port won’t charge
I was charging my iPad when it fell of my bed and the lighting port seems to be bent inwards so it has to be at a certain position to charge is there anyway to fix it

Do you mean the Lightning “plug”, the one at the end of the Lightning cable or the actual “port” which is recessed inside the iPad housing?
I ask because I have a hard time imagining the the actual port could be bent without any other damage to the iPad. Perhaps you could post a picture to help us visualize the damage.
If the port is damaged, then it can be replaced but requires a micro-soldering repair.

This is yet another design flaw. The ipad I have had for two years seems to have same issue as I had with my itouch 6. The screens are made of thin aluminum and suddenly the weather here is cold. Could it be that the latest desgn has a squared edge because the curved one had too many complaints. I love apple software, but frankly I always seem to end up with something broken related to hardware. In the meantime I have a Samsung tablet that I bought earlier and such design flaws dont ruin my heavy use.
