Literally any cable other than Apples will not break like that.

I've had the same 100w tb3 cable for 4 years. It charges all of my devices and gets a ton of use.

Wireless charging is still a little gimmicky imo. It has only come in useful when my friend's iPhone needed to mooch some charge off of my phone.

The headphone jacks are pointless to include bc they're so horribly underpowered. USBc headphones or a dongle is 10x better.

Bought a pixel 6 after breaking my oneplus 6t.

I absolutley love wireless charging. Its so good i wouldnt want another phone without it. No abuse on the usbc port which is something i definately damaged on previous phones. Just me being clumsy and knocking it off the table with the cord plugged in still.

My experience anyway. Love it
