Reply to comment by Trout22 in USB-C iPhone will be mandatory in Europe as EU law passes final stage by prehistoric_knight

13 months in and not one single issue with the apple cords. My wife made the switch, too, after her Samsung kept having USB C issues. Every single device that has USB C has been problematic for me except for the Macbook Air I bought last year. Even my HP laptop barely made it 18 months before both ports stopped working well.

What a load of crap. Usb c is the far sturdier port than lightning. Don’t get me started on micro usb. Maybe look at your user habits instead of blaming a great port that has other issues (standards) for reliability flaws.

Never defended micro usb. My habits are to put my phone in a case and then keep it in my pocket. I work an office job and sit around all day. Pockets have phone, wallet, keys, and chapstick and very rarely anything else. Maybe don't get so worked up about a USB port?

Meh, my experience is dissimilar. I didn't really want to switch to Apple, and I didn't really want to switch charging cables. But after having so many phones give me hardware issues I made the switch. Not a huge fan of Apple software, but the hardware is exceptional and the charging has been rock solid.

Also worth noting that the wireless charging on the Apple works so much better than it did on the Pixel or Samsung I had previously that I actually use it, which also relieves pressure on the phone port.

Whats with all these weird obviously bullshit stories whenever this topic gets brought up.

Apple's cables are notorious garbage. They break within six months top. You are pretending to be ignorant of this... why?

Not pretending to be ignorant of anything. I was a loyal android person for years, but the build quality was consistently crap no matter what brand I bought or how much I spent. I've only been on Apple for 13 months but so far the hardware is 10x better on all things, including the cables. I don't love the software experience and miss a lot about android, but I no longer have issues with basic functions like charging my device.

No, you are just trying to pass yourself as impartial to sell the bullshit
