I only have USB-C on my laptop (MacBook Pro; you can guess my phone’s non-standard port), and I’m rather a clumsy person. I haven’t had any issues with anything breaking, but I’ve heard a lot about the risk. Some suggest it’s the port design itself to blame (eg wrong amount of snugness in either direction), others that it’s the hollow plug design. I imagine both are at play, but my hunch is the ports are more to blame than the plugs (thinness = excessive snugness). Despite this hunch, I wince every single time I notice the hollow plug, because it always suggests a more fragile part I can neither see nor safeguard.
