    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.

    Edit: some of you need to chill the fuck out with the voting buttons. What’s your rational? “I like USB-C, so I downvote a motherfucker!”. I like it too, but haven’t had good luck with longevity. I specifically said “for me”, as in “my experience with it so far”.

      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.

      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.
