    The charging port (aka USB-C port) isnt going to break because you occasionally plug in a cable into it.

    It absolutely can.

        I haven’t had it happen to a phone in a long time (though it did happen to the LG phone I had like two phones ago).

        I’ve had it happen to another device that charges with USB-C (Focus V Carta 2). To the point where I had to buy a wireless charger (that itself needs to charge with USB-C so I have to make sure not to do it again) built specifically for the device and it’s the only way I can charge the device now.

        Amazing device though. I’ve had it for like 6 years now and that’s the only part that stopped working. I haven’t inhaled combusted plant matter since.

          Im sure the device is end of life after 6 years anyways, so that sounds about right. I personally havent ever had a usb-c port fail, but ive only been using iphones and pixels. Good workaround with the wireless charging though.
