      Are you buying cheap ones? Cause I’ve never had one break on me. Either user error and cheap.

      USB-C seems to break way more often than micro-usb or the Apple connector ever did. For me the connectors will look fine, but the cable burns out or something. I stopped buying cheap cables on Amazon, and at the gas station, they don’t last.

      Edit: some of you need to chill the fuck out with the voting buttons. What’s your rational? “I like USB-C, so I downvote a motherfucker!”. I like it too, but haven’t had good luck with longevity. I specifically said “for me”, as in “my experience with it so far”.

        Idk what your doing to your poor usb c connectors. But they are way more durable than micro usb or the apple headers ever were.

        I’ve noticed the opposite. I’ll use a Micro-USB cable for 1-2 years (sometimes less) and it’ll always start having flaky connections requiring more and more jiggles to get working. I’ve used the same USB-C cable for a bit over 5 years and it works as well as the day I bought it.

        Micro USB was the bastard child of Loki, and a glass cactus that can only be inserted one way up your ass.

      Somehow my USBC lead has stopped charging my phone at high speed, it still challenges the phone but really really slowly. What the hell?

        Issues with CC conductors? USB PD works via CC* and USB BC works via DP/DN.

        *old versions can communicate via Vbus, but it didn’t become popular.

        EIDT: forgot about CC
