Usb-c is really susceptible to dust building up in the port, especially on phones on pockets. They often need to be scrapped out to get rid of the lint.

I've had many micro cables get broken, requiring the perfect angle, but never the ports themselves as far as I could tell. I've never had a C port fail either and rarely have cable issues. However, any time the C ports require a specific angle to work, I have found they're packed with lint. It goes with the "click" getting weak as well. Paperclip, Sim card pick, compressed air, a good cheek puff, usually all good after.

Hmm interesting. I work with a bunch of older machines that use micro USB. They are all going on 10 years without a broken port. But my phones USB C port broke recently at about 4 years in.

Same here. My current phone and a few other devices don't hold a type C connector anymore. I never had that issue with micro B.

Micro B port broke on my JBL charge 3, de-soldered and replaced, works like new.
