I think my only big complaint with USB C these days is that the sockets wear out quickly.
The charging port on my motorola phone got so loose that I frequently end up with an uncharged phone after a full night of "charging", just because the cable's own weight keeps yanking it out of the phone. The phone is not even 3 years old.
It would be nice to get a user replaceable USB port. Meanwhile, I'm not sure if those magnetic USB cables help this situation any bit or they further damage the port.
- klausa 2mo agoAre you sure it's not the cable? Theoretically, USB-C is designed in a way to prevent this exact thing from happening, where the springs that help retain the cable are in the _cable_, not the device. (This is a frequently toted-out argument about USB-C superiority over Lightning.)
- saidinesh5 2mo agoIt's definitely the port too. I changed the cable and the connection is still loose. Not as bad as the previous cable, but still bad..
