I keep phones longer than most to test apps on old hardware. Am looking at an iPhone 6S, and original iPhone SE, and an iPhone 12 right now. All three are plugged in via lightning at least three times a week to a dev box. I know several other developers with similar experience at frequent connections via lightning connector and not a single case of failure on the phone side of the connection. The only time I have had an issue is when pocket lint got into the connection port and after a period of being compressed by the lightning connector the tiny puck of fluff eventually made a good connection difficult. A paperclip was sufficient to clear the problem. Would love to hear proof of the occurrence of this particular problem though. Until I do I will file it with UFOs and Bigfoot in the category of 'imaginary problems.'
