In the case of aging batteries, these gases can accumulate inside the battery casing, causing it to expand. Additionally, other factors such as overheating, the presence of impurities, or manufacturing defects can contribute to the inflation of old cell phone batteries.

iPhone not charging when plugged in?

Any knowledgeable electronics repair shop should be able to pretty quickly determine the source of the issue by observing if the phone draws any current with an ammeter, dry-fitting a new charging port and new battery, and observing the response through the ammeter.
