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.
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.
That's wild.
I had a micro USB charging port give me an issue once, but I've never had a program with a headphone jack or USBC port. Wow.
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.
Yeah it's pointless having a super thin phone if the camera array is still an inch thick
