    I liked microusb. I don’t know what everyone is doing with their connectors, but I never had any contact issues.

      All I know is no matter how careful I was, it would end up not connecting unless it was held at exactly the right angle. I’ve yet to have a single USB-C connector have the issue

      I would like to know what I’m doing with the connectors too, dammit.

      I don’t blame any connector, all of them end up the same for me. Externally in good condition but the conductivity the poorest.

      Every phone I’ve ever replaced was replaced because the micro USB broke. Now with how fast charging is I don’t even use my phone while it’s charging, but I still don’t expect the USB-C to be the part that gives out first.

        I think the real solution is repairable gadgets. A microusb port costs pennies and if the phones were repairable at all, it would be a 5 minute solder job. The same is true for USB C as well. It might be more durable, but it can still break and it feels so stupid to replace a decive because a single cheap part broke.

      The only annoyances I had were general keyed connector issues, but usually you’re able to look at the port, it’s usb a that tended to be plugged in blind, usb c can be annoying to plug in blind because if its size, just less overall annoying that og usb
