    I’ve had several 3.5mm jacks fail. I’ve yet to have a USBC port fail, but I’ve also had fewer USBC ports and for fewer years.

      I’ve had them both be problematic. Nothing deoxit can’t fix.

      Headphone jacks have a hell of a lot of leverage on that port. An IP68 headphone jack is honestly pretty bulky.

      I’d rather have one. I also also like us to go back to phones that are 1cm+ thick and just fill it out with battery.
