Actually, I have more issues with the ports than the cable itself. that's why I prefer type male connector like the lightning. The lightning has issue though, one of the PIN could corrode.

anyway, hope the USB type C cable is there to stay and with the new intel progress on bandwidth , it might be the case.

What's the problem with the port? It's considerably less prone to accumulate debris in my experience.

I used to clean at least 2-3 USB-C ports a day, 5 days a week, at my shop. I cleaned plenty of Lightning ports too, neither really is less prone than the other to dust ingress. Lightning is easier to clean though, since you don’t have to worry about accidentally snapping the center post like you do in USB-C.
