Same issue was the charging cable. It eventually messed up my charging port and could only wireless charge.

Yeah, a lot of people don’t seem to realize how much damage a bad cord can do.

I had a bad cable freeze my car play a few times. Never underestimate a bad cable.

I’ve absolutely heard of it happening with android drvices and nintendo switches. It absolutely happens. Iphone isnt the problem here, its cheap cords.

Well since youve already back-tracked on this statement, are you aware the nintendo switch uses usb-c? Remember earlier when i said the nintendo switch is known for having issues with cheap cords?

> Back in the days of micro usb, sure.. but there aren’t really many cases of it happening with usb-c.

You still sure about that?

You backtracked when you switched from “only seems to happen with apple” to “not only with apple”. I have no brand loyalty to apple. However, i do have a nintendo switch that i got on launch day. I remember seeing nintendo put out a warning about cheap cables. Source. And I remember seeing some posts on r/Nintendo and r/NintendoSwitch about dead switches. In general, you should know the details about the cables you buy and use.

Why are you so aggressive? Calm down. No one is attacking you.

Did you not hear when everyone was using third party usb-c chargers with this Nintendo Switch’s and ruining them?

A fried Pixel 2 XL of mine says otherwise. Was a nice burnt smell from the charging port.

But not an Apple device and happened a while ago. It also warns/warned of water in the charging port. I will say Google took care of me though and wanted it sent to their HQ for analysis of what went wrong, and they let me buy another at discount.
