The other thing that seems to fail is USB-C connector. I wonder if the USB-C connectors in most phones last beyond 5 years. Mine still works but I cannot plug the device in and use it without it just falling out pretty quickly. The old micro USB plugs seem a little more robust.
This is dramatically the opposite of my experience. I've never had a usb-c port die, but the microUSB ports were fragile as heck.
I've had cheapo USB-C cables die but that's because cheap.
Do you have a specific cable brand that might be better? I have tried multiple suppliers. Same.
Anker and Belkin both make high quality cables.
Anker is my go to and handles my kids cable abuse pretty well. I also echo the above person's comment that USB-C has been way more robust than micro for me.
Wireless charging solves most of that.
mm maybe. connectors should definitely have a tiny magnet, but its still rare...
