If I am only charging and not using the cable for data, I have started to rely on imitation Mag safe type plugs for phones and other portables. Since the lifespan on both USB-A and USB-C is limited, hope to make stuff useable until the battery needs to be replaced (if possible) instead of a mechanical failure of the port itself or wearing down the contacts too much for use - my 2012 Macbook pro USB ports are super loose and only work if I plug the cable in just right for this reason I assume.
