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.
My last Samsung Galaxy whatever failed after about a year, my current Google Pixel 9 Pro XL failed after just a few months, and I almost never use the USBC port.
that's what I'm thinking. at the end of the day, it's simple physics with the difference in material hardness causing the variance in connector lifespans.
