I know this may be obvious to most in this community, but it saved me $1,000+ and wanted to let everyone know that it is in fact worth your time, effort, and hassle ordering the tools, watching or reading a quick tutorial or 2 and spending the time to clean you phone-s charging port.

Or better yet don't buy some anti consumer locked down phone that's intentionally made hard to repair by a shitty company, I'm going back to android in the future where something as basic as replacing a port would never be a issue, but with Google fucking with the sideloading in android I'm concerned they are on a path similar to Apple, I wish some truly open source phone OS would be available like Linux so is for PCs

    Google's fuckery is impotent against phones without Google.

    Just install your own OS and don't jnstall gappa (by default its absent) and Google can't stop you from installing apps from third party app stores.
