The USB-C charging ports on my phones have always collected lint to the point they totally stop working and have to be cleaned out vigorously.
I don't know how this problem is so much worse with USB-C or the physics behind it, but it's a very common issue.
This port could be improved for sure.
- user5534762135 1y agoAs someone with both a usb-c and micro-usb phone, I can assure you that other connectors are not free of that problem. The micro-usb one definitely feels worse. Not sure about the old proprietary crap that used to be forced down our throats so we buy Apple AND Nokia chargers, and a new one for each model, too.
- kaashif 1y agoI don't know, it might be the case that my switch to USB-C phones somehow coincided with an increase in pocket lint but I've had two USB-C phones where the charging ports literally stopped working due to lint, and no micro USB ones have done that. I don't know if this is a fair comparison, just an anecdote.
