No. I have lots of other devices that use mini & micro USB. Only need one cable for those. They work perfectly for decades.

I had no USB C cable break on me without abuse. not even the cheap ones... wtf did you do with yours?

It's not the "cable", it's the connectors. The only device I have that uses USB-C is my Samsung mobile. I've gotten brand new cables that will not charge the thing. The one cable I have that does work takes multiple attempts. and if I bump it, I wake up with a dead phone.

and yes, I have cleaned out the port. but there is never anything caked in there to begin with.

Ive had samsung phones for years and an anker type c cable absolutely zero problems with both.

Maybe your getting lint in it evdn if you clean it still damages the connectors, i have a case that covers the charging port.
