Just NOW swapped a failed micro cord, charging only. Never had USB-C fail me. Not that it can't, but it's always been far more reliable.

I've never had a USB C connection be why the cord failed, they all die because the cord is frayed or whatever. Micro USB is hot trash. If it doesn't need to be removed, glue the fucker in its the only way it'll last. At work for the EFTPOS machine we have a shield on one that locks the cord in, stopped us going through a micro cord every 2 months.
