Bad for the charging port. You know, that hole with 24 extremely tiny wires and pins? Once that's damaged, you have a brick, not a phone.

This is why I believe in UK plug supremacy. Extreme support, extreme safety. Be extreme today. Convert to the UK plug

That's make the phone pretty bulky

[-] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 19 points 2 years ago

They're talking about the USB port. Which might have been inferred from "24 pins".

[-] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I think they were taking about the lightning port on the iPhone.

You may hide now before the europlug F squad I called gets here.

Schuko is way nicer and isn't a landmine when left on the floor.

You don't have wireless charging as a backup?

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

A backup, sure. But I use Android Auto every day. Also, I wouldn't be able to charge it from my power bank or use headphones if the USB-C port was damaged.

[-] Faresh@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I don't think I have seen many phones with that feature.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

You... haven't seen many phones that can charge wirelessly? In 2024??

[-] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

the phones with that feature are way to expensive

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Phones are pretty light as long as you set it in there gently and didn't do it often it wouldn't hurt anything.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

You can't assert that. Not to a certainty.

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Or you open it up and replace the daughterboard holding the port. Worked fine when I did it for a friend.

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Is that actually how you spell, what I thought was, “dotter board”?

[-] zaphodb2002@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah, motherboard, daughterboard.

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Oh so no sonboard or fatherboard?

What kinda of world do we live in?….. 😔

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Considering you plug the daughterboard into the motherboard quite often, sonboard might be the more appropriate term, because of the male plug type. But maybe people didn't quite want to raise the spectre of motherfuckers.

Not to mention the implied incest lmao
