Anyone had this kind of problem and know how much Apple would charge to fix it?

You may want to check your lightning port for obstruction. I had this happen to my iPhone 5, and the culprit turned out to be about a year's worth of pocket lint, compressed due to the plugging and unplugging of the lightning cable. If there is something in the port, you may be able to get it out using the Nintendo 'blow in it' method. I ended up having to use a toothpick to loosen it, but if you go this route be gentle so that the port doesn't get damaged.
