Bad for the charging port. You know, that hole with 24 extremely tiny wires and pins? Once that’s damaged, you have a brick, not a phone.

This is why I believe in UK plug supremacy. Extreme support, extreme safety. Be extreme today. Convert to the UK plug

They’re talking about the USB port. Which might have been inferred from “24 pins”.

I think they were taking about the lightning port on the iPhone.

Schuko is way nicer and isn’t a landmine when left on the floor.

You don’t have wireless charging as a backup?

I don’t think I have seen many phones with that feature.

You… haven’t seen many phones that can charge wirelessly? In 2024??

A backup, sure. But I use Android Auto every day. Also, I wouldn’t be able to charge it from my power bank or use headphones if the USB-C port was damaged.

Phones are pretty light as long as you set it in there gently and didn’t do it often it wouldn’t hurt anything.

You can’t assert that. Not to a certainty.

Or you open it up and replace the daughterboard holding the port. Worked fine when I did it for a friend.
