    USB-C likes to get full of dust and is impossible to clean out.

    I have dust plugs in mine and just wireless charge because I have also had failures.

      Wouldn’t say it’s impossible. I’ve done it pretty often at work (tech support) and at home with sim eject tools, pointy tweezers, knitting needles etc. 5 minutes of patience and the port is like new. Just need to avoid the centre where the contacts are.

      Really? How about gently blowing into it?

      Also, do you keep sand in your pocket? Like, just how?

      I have a phone that is almost 4 years old and had USB-C only laptops since 2014. Not once did I have a problem with dust or let alone any kind of failure of an USB-C port. This is just absurd.
