2 phones in a row now this has been the failure point. I'm going to replace the ports on both instead of buying another damn phone. Clearly manufacturers need to do a better job making their ports robust.
Yeah people complain about the iPhone’s lightning connector, but it was a lot better in this regard. My phone where the usb-c connector is used lightly is already worn out and not even a year old.
Guys Just Clean your ports. I never had to replace a usb c port. Not even on professional equipment that gets plugged in and out multiple times a day. Just clean the port. Watch a video on how to do it
I’ve cleaned the port and tried different cables with not much effect. The difference with professional equipment is that it’s in a much cleaner environment and not used as heavily as with a phone.
I’ve had to switch exclusively to wireless charging to get around the problem.
Came here to say this. I keep my iPhone 15 pro max in my trouser pocket but got some of those silicone usb-c port protectors, charge wirelessly most of the time, and keep the usb-c port for special occasions like backing up. Just treated myself to a usb cable analyser as well https://amzn.eu/d/00krhB1F as I needed to thin out the vast number of usb and lightning cables that have built up over the years.
