Periodically I have to root around in the connector with a very fine point to remove compacted layers that prevent the plug being pushed fully home.

The Samsung S5 has a little cover that you have to fiddle with when using the port.  -  on the upside, it has never clogged with lint etc.

Wonder why it affects USB-C and not micro or mini (it's not just me - I had a replacement socket on order before I found other affected users on t'web and decided to really excavate the socket). Possibly the larger opening acts as a funnel for the smaller internals.

A plus point, though, is it seems the cable tends to wear before the socket. I have two almost identical cables from the same manufacturer, the only difference being the length. I typically use the same one all the time to charge my phone, and sometimes it takes longer than expected to charge. For instance, just now it was achieving 1.2A. But the other cable is always at full rate (just now 2.0A).

So, it does not appear that apple found a way around it - https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/26/23423977/iphone-usb-c-eu-law-joswiak-confirms-compliance-lightning

Now all apple fanboys will have to find a way to explain that USB-C is now good because apple won't use bad stuff.

Funny, I'm sure he just said exactly what I said months ago.

Damn. Looks like that's gone the way of the rest of the economy too.
