I’ve had issues with the cable on my pixel 6 pro not staying seated - so I plug the phone in and if there’s slight movement and it stops charging, very annoying… I also had the same issue with my pixel 5, so much so that I had to get it repaired.
I don’t do anything unusual wear and tear wise (like working on a building site), and since the 5, I always make sure the port is debris free before plugging in.
It’s frustrating because I have an iPhone for work and the connection on that is reassuringly solid.
Yeah, the iPhone cable is nice. It’s just a simple male to female, not this double inception stuff that USB-C is. But USB-C is faster, and more universal. I guess the problem is probably my phone. I already had to get it replaced once because the port burned out. Great job Google! Nice flagship phone you’ve got there.
Do you often use your phone hand-held while it is charging? The devices should be able to handle it, of course, but it sounds like you’ve had a lot of issues!
Agreed on the Apple lightning connector though. I am happy to see USB-c finally becoming the standard, but it’s mechanically a nice connector.

I wouldn’t say “often”, but occasionally. I guess a few times per week for 10-20 minutes or so.
