    So your power/data USB C port can snap off?

    How about we have the boys in engineering work up a more durable dedicated audio port for something that will be plugged in when on the go?

    We can give it:

    A solid, round metal plug for infinite 360-degree rotation, neutralizing cable-twist strain that would otherwise warp a rigid USB-C port.

    A hollow-tunnel design with out the fragile internal circuit “tongue” found in USB-C, making it nearly impossible to snap or bend through accidental force.

    And as a bonus, heavy-duty internal spring contacts that tolerate dirt and high insertion counts, and linear release mechanism so the cable will pop out cleanly during a violent tug instead of tearing up the phone’s internal electronics.

    We can call this MIRACLE as the 3.5mm headphone jack. The kids will love it!
