USB C ports break just when I look at them slightly wrongly. In comparison to that, 3.5mm is a dream.

I haven't managed to brake one yet but I admit on a thinkpad I own the cable appear to be wiggly once plugged to it.

This happened to one of my phones after a few years, turned out it was a bunch of lint compressed into the port preventing the cable from going in all the way. I got it all out with a staple (only thing I could find that was small enough to fit), then the cable started snapping into the port like new.

Just use wireless charging. It works fine. I've 3D printed a little cover for my USB C port as I just don't need it for anything. Will keep that little port fresh for years...

You are saying that as if all smartphone were compatible.
