- perth 5y agoThis blog post describes a design choice that would make the USB-C port far more likely to fail than the lightning port: https://www.appledystopia.com/reviews/usb-c-vs-lightning-page-1/ https://www.appledystopia.com/reviews/usb-c-vs-lightning-pag... "With Lightning, the connecting tabs are on the cable itself. USB-C has connecting tabs on the port." This reddit comment thread describes a flaw where the USB-C device-end becomes clogged with dust, sometimes possible to clean out with a toothpick: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/9wdylm/usb_c_port_worn_out/ https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/9wdylm/usb_c_p... This is a reddit post where people are complaining about lightning cables failing: https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/5cjvlf/durability_of_lightning_connectors/ https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/5cjvlf/durability_o... If you were buying a device, would you rather the port on your device wear out, or the cable that connects to it?
