I find that I wear out the charging port before the battery. I don't even plug it in that much either.

    Try cleaning out the USB-C port. Lint gets compacted in there and it can prevent the plug from seating correctly. Most charging problems I’ve had were resolved by scraping the lint out of the port, with a plastic floss pick thing or an unbent staple. Careful not to damage the contacts though.

    try a magnetic charger. it may look a bit off leaving the usb-c part plugged into the phone, but there's way less wear or lint

  • I wanna know what the hell people are doing to destroy the ports on their devices. Like are you plugging your phone in then using it as a lasso? Are you smashing the plug down against something and bending the connector? In 20 years of using various smart phones I've never destroyed the port on my device.

    Lint? Yes, but you can clear that out easily. But like actually destroying ports when they're clean?
