Everyone I know that got a USB-C phone eventually complained about loose cables. I have been using the same 6 year old lighting cable without issue.

On it’s own that doesn’t mean much, but plenty of people dislike USB-C from personal experience.

They tend to get dust packed into them that you can fix with a pin.

Good to know, but that would still be a major design issue.

Thinking about it, the best common data connector for interment use might be those credit card chip readers. They can handle more connections in a week than you need to recharge your phone in years. Sure they eventually ware out, but that’s in a business setting.
