Can you elaborate or some links about this I can show? ? I've measured it myself, and Apple seems to be the worst in reliability for wear.
I do non-profit broadcast engineering, and many volunteers use mobile or laptop sources.
Wear and tolerances are a major issue with discrepancy reports, and now we have to enjoy bluetooth only connections from consumer crap.
All I-phones should be required to have xlr connectors if connected in a broadcast studio.
You just need a smaller a**for pocket to put a thick device in.
