Used to be the socket with micro USB, but USB c is much more resilient. And any damage usually occurs on the cable end and not the socket. So worst case just replace the cable

It’s honestly a bit of a miracle. The whole male port design looks like it would be asking for trouble compared to a female port like lightning, but the engineering seems to hold up.

My wife has an iPhone, I have Android. I’ve easily bought her twice as many lightning cable replacements over the years, compared to USB C ones.

Micro USB is another story, that port never should’ve existed

Not talking about the cable, yes you do want a durable cable, but end of the day, your cable goes bad you’re out 10-20 dollars tops. On the other hand if something happens to the port you’re out potentially a couple hundred dollars getting it repaired. Many people will even just replace the device at that point. The design of the lightning port seems much more robust than USB-C.

I did replace the cable, which is why it sucked when it still is only charging from a certain angle. It’s the device. Don’t see any dust in there…
