I would agree that Lightning feels somewhat better designed. I have a USB-C port for docking my laptop and a USB-C phone and both are somewhat flakey. If I move the cable in a certain way it disconnects. I've tried replacing cables, but to no avail, so it definately seems like the connector is the issue. I had an iPhone 5S for 5 years before this phone and never had any issues, other than dust getting in, which was easily cleaned.
