Not the fucking port in the phone though. Way to ignore that.
I’m skeptical that this happens anywhere remotely near frequently enough to condemn the entire technology. Never seen it, and never heard about it until just now.
“Android” isn’t a single maker. Sure galaxies and pixels are USB3.0 or 3.1. The vast majority of cheapo Android phones use 2.0.
I would love for you to find a single noteworthy android manufacturer that is not in this list. *Edited because this link was not working correctly on desktop site

I have three kids. I have had to buy parts off of eBay and replace the ports on both of my PS4 controllers. They see way, way less use than any of the kids iPhones, or mine or my wife’s. I have a Kindle that has to be propped “just-so” to charge.
I really don’t give much a shit if everyone in this thread hates apple, but micro-usb is a fucking garbage connector that frankly, USB-C shares too much in common with. If you stepped on a lightning cable that was in a device, you probably need a new cable. If stepped on a micro-usb, you probably need a new device and new cable. USB-C, you need a new cable and you might need a new device (see also, me figuring out how to fix the kids oculus this week.)
Speculative claims and vitriolic anecdotes are not convincing. There are other factors here that could explain these discrepancies- if they exist at all, because again this comment is so inflammatory that it reeks of personal bias, bad faith, or fabrication- such as: how kids treat gaming peripherals as opposed to phones, placement of the charging port on the device, placement of the items in your house, quality of materials in the device (remember you’re comparing phones to old, $60-$100 items), your perspective focusing more on negative experiences than positive, etc.
You’re the first person I’ve ever heard defend micro usb lol. So congratulations there.
Yes Apple branded lightning cables break pretty easily. Not the fucking port in the phone though. Way to ignore that.

You do know that the connector is separate from the protocol right?
The galaxy S23 ultra comes with a usb 2.0 type c cable in the box.
If you want a 3.2 cable with 45W charging you have to buy it separately.

Sure beats spending $19+ every 1.5 years for a new lightning cable. ;)
I’ve been using the same lightning cable that I got with my iPhone 12. What the fuck do y’all do with your cables?
I don’t know, you can’t put anything past people. Remember that whole “charge your phone in the microwave” campaign? LOL
This is true lol.
