It has obvious advantages, but the way it went no further than mini\micro-usb in design department shows it’s flaws even more.
The death of connecting parts was always a concern, and short, smooth format without any kind of a clipse fixation makes it fail to connect after a while like any other with the same production quality.
The overuse of it nowadays leads to bigger failure rates because you now can use cords interchangeably, so these connectors wear off faster than before (not to say your devices have faster charging times and higher discharging rates, so the plug\unplug routine is generally more frequent nowadays).
Your go-to universal cord can charge your phone, earbuds, vape, notebook, video-converter, beatmachine, microphone, gamepad etc. And unless you have a dedicated cord for each one of those, you’d experience them breaking up at surprising speeds.
The two-sided design is it’s crowning jewel, but I could’ve traded it for some better one-sided longer design with some sort of a lock instead. Some DP cords I have have a pair of teeth that can secure the connector in the hole, with a button to release it. It is not possible in Type-C I believe.
Big Cord bathes in cash as we speak.
i havent had a usb c port fail so far just some that required cleaning.
I far prefer it againt mini and micro usb, which I had have countless examples of devices that had it break
Yeah, same.
I think the worst issue I’ve had was when I was using a chainsaw to cut up a fallen tree. Phone was in my pocket and a chunk of wood somehow made its way into its USB port and was such an absolute perfect fit that I almost never got it out of there lol.
