How much of a game changer was USB-C for you, compared to other cables? (lemmy.ml)

Reversibility and bandwidth are great. It's just too bad that it's the least robust port ever conceived.

Its very robust. Take a look at mini and micro USB-b, the lightning cable, etc.

I've never used lightning but I've never had a problem with any mini or micro usb connections across many cables and devices.

USB C, though, always feels like it's going to fall out if I move it wrong

You are absolutely an outlier then.

USB-C is superior to the connectors I listed in literally every way. The port must be broken or something.

Amazing coincidence that every usb c port I've used has been an outliet.

Also, you seem really invested in usb c.

Lightning was designed to put the stress on the cable instead of the port. A lot cheaper to replace a busted cable than getting your device repaired.
