I don't know. I can easily lift my phone by the USB-C cable. And as for the connectors, sure USB-A usually has 4 through-hole mounting and through-hole live pins[^1] so the connection to the board is rock solid, but USB-C connectors, despite having surface-mounted live pins tend to have shallow mounting pins as well[^2]. I find it pretty durable.
