What kind of linty clothes are you guys wearing? I have had usb-c phones for what seems like forever now.. Never had any issues or had to clean it even once.

I was wondering the same thing. This is the first time I'm hearing of lint-inside-port situation. Was I living under a rock?!

This has never been a problem for me for both USB-C or lightning ports. But apparently — judging by comments here — this is a common complaint.

About the ports themselves I don't care either way. I have no strong opinions about USB-C or lightning.

You and I have been living under a lint-free rock, apparently.

Jeans. I think the reason I don't have to do it much any more is I work from home now so don't have my phone in my pocket almost every day.

For PCs, laptops, tablets, e-readers etc I can't see this ever being a problem. It's not just phones, remember.
