I’ve had several 3.5mm jacks fail. I’ve yet to have a USBC port fail, but I’ve also had fewer USBC ports and for fewer years.

    I've had them both be problematic. Nothing deoxit can't fix.

    Headphone jacks have a hell of a lot of leverage on that port. An IP68 headphone jack is honestly pretty bulky.

    I'd rather have one. I also also like us to go back to phones that are 1cm+ thick and just fill it out with battery.

    Oh oh oh I can do this one.

    6 USB-C port failures in my 1.75 years with the phone.

    Fuck HMD Global (then Nokia brand) and their absolute trash USB ports.
