    IMHO as production of type-c connectors and ports ramped up, average quality went down. I’ve got oldish devices, among the first to introduce it, still making a perfect connection, and I’ve got newer ones that either always had poor connection or quickly developed it.

    Solder quality also makes a big difference, SMD ports are relatively easy to tear off the PCB.

      I’ve had 2x+ more failures of C ports than Micro, and I’ve had 10x more micro devices for far longer (starting around 2009).

      Supposedly C is more durable, but that hasn’t been my experience.
