    That’s got to be something you’re doing. Cause I’ve had exactly zero problems. In fact I don’t think I’ve actually met a person who’s ever had a problem with USB - C. But I have boxes (plural) of dead micro USB cables and, on top of that, I have so many devices that have been rendered useless by the fact that the micro USB port has been blown or damaged in some way it’s not even funny.

    Edit, these are not all mine. They are from multiple people.

      I’m with you. Those spring-latch-things on the micro just give up on life and the whole thing becomes useless or tears apart the port you try to plug them into. I say leave them in the past

        Yeah, I love the counter argument of “oh, the USB - C gets dirt in it”. As though that hasn’t been an issue with every port ever conceived. 😒

          Was a lot less of an issue with lightning than with other connectors, but I realize that people hate the lightning for some reason.

              And because of the little metal piece that would break off and prevent your phone from charging. You could just weasel it out with tweezers but most people would think their port was broken because they didn’t know it was even an issue.

      LG phones were notoriously bad…the v60 especially had a defective port.
