USB-C sucks

CarPlay was randomly going in and out today. Took me a moment to realize the plug was loose. I jiggled it a little to reconnect. Awhile later, it went out again. As I was readjusting it dawned on me, this thing is becoming permanently loose.

I had never had this problem with the Lightning connector. So much so that it didn’t Really register with me the first few times it happened.

USB-C is the best actually.

If it was consistent, but its not. I don't own a single usb-c port or cable that fits perfect its either too loose or too tight being barely used and brand new.

Main reason I bought the iPhone 15 is the USB-C, but its not great on larger devices and lightning always fit snuggly without aligning the cable.

Terrible on larger devices as power connector bends easily.

Don't go blaming a standard for one vendors crap implementation. If iPhone build quality disappoints you, that's fair.

A valid criticism of the standard is all the subtypes and the lack of standard cord labeling for them.

I uaed phones with usb-c in the past for 3 and 4 years. The port was never problematic on those even after years of use

"Glass sucks. The back of my phone shattered when I dropped it and it dawned on me that glass is faulty. I never had this problem with aluminum. I have determined that glass as a whole on iPhone is faulty since my phone is broken."

See how silly this sounds, OP?
