    USB-C seems to break way more often than micro-usb or the Apple connector ever did. For me the connectors will look fine, but the cable burns out or something. I stopped buying cheap cables on Amazon, and at the gas station, they don’t last.

      Idk what your doing to your poor usb c connectors. But they are way more durable than micro usb or the apple headers ever were.

        USB-C is not just more durable than micro, it’s many times more durable!

      I’ve noticed the opposite. I’ll use a Micro-USB cable for 1-2 years (sometimes less) and it’ll always start having flaky connections requiring more and more jiggles to get working. I’ve used the same USB-C cable for a bit over 5 years and it works as well as the day I bought it.

      Micro USB was the bastard child of Loki, and a glass cactus that can only be inserted one way up your ass.
