Wow, username literally checks out. lolAgreed—USB-C is trashy, always has been. Lightning is a more robust, solid connector. Apple should pull out of the EU or at least comply with their absurdities locally and nowhere else.
Or... moderators?Well, those topics are controversial by nature, which drives engagement, which sends a signal to the program: hey, this topic must have been popular, let’s let everyone else also know its existence.
There you go. Unless MacRumors uses some sort of AI to intelligently analyse thread content, nothing much can be done.
While yes they Can pull those threads out of top recommend bar, AI can help reduce their workload. Moreover, AI can get proactive eventually, albeit with the risk of having false positive, although I don’t think that would have much impact otherwise In this specific scenario.Or... moderators?
Delusional rant at best. USB-C is one of the most reliable and useful connections. The data transfer speed advantages alone make it superior to lightning.Yup, I always said the USB-C port is a disaster vs. the secure and reliable lightning connector. Now it's confirmed: USB-C sucks. The connection is fragile at best:

Thanks, EU. You forced an inferior port on all of us. Horrible.
Yeah. We could see a sea of Twitter posts complaining about USB-C if they are that bad by now, knowing MacBook adopted it SEVEN years ago.If there was a widespread problem, you’d hear more people complaining about it and not just share a Reddit post. Internet forums are notorious for complaining about anything and everything.
Realized I have a pretty good illustration of the difference in robustness and longevity of USB-C vs Lightning (see attached video): 1) is a MacBook 12” from 2017 with USB-C and 2) is an iPhone X from 2017 with Lightning. Both devices are in working condition but the MacBook cable has become looser over time and once plugged in, you sometimes have to fiddle with it to get it to charge. So it’s not that USB-C is awful, it’s just not as physically strong, durable, and ultimately reliable as Lightning.
USB-C ports have been on the Mac for 8 years now. Not a single issue with them getting loose on there. The port itself is not the problem, it's probably Apple not securing it properly on the iPhone 15 series.Yup, I always said the USB-C port is a disaster vs. the secure and reliable lightning connector.

No, they are not.Lightning connections are physically much more robust. Fact.
Is it USB-C that is the problem or how the port on the iPhone was manufactured? I had a 2015 MBP that was rock solid yet had one USB A port that was a bit loose and iffy at times depending on the male USB A being put in it. There is no true standard for make and fit.Yup, I always said the USB-C port is a disaster vs. the secure and reliable lightning connector. Now it's confirmed: USB-C sucks.

Hahaha yes, I dislike the micro USB connectors and the really fat weird shaped early onesI never transfer anything via wire. I believe most users don’t. So if we disregard transfer speeds and (claimed) environmental impact, I must say IMHO lightning is not worse, or perhaps even better, than USB-C. It’s physically smaller and clicks nicely when plugged in. Everyone is bashing lightning but it was Apple who came up with that idea of port that you can plug either way. UCB-C just copied that concept. Remember before that Android phones had those type USB ports that you can plug only one way and they were flimsy, didn’t click nicely. So I think Apple doesn’t get enought credit for lightning and USB-C is just copy of that concept that is declared being ”the” solution.
My 2016 USB-C ports are wiggly as can be. My iP15 PM (and the 14 Pro before that) has never been plugged in because MagSafe charging works so well.I've only used the USB-C port on my iP15P a few times, so I can't say anything about that, but I have used it quite a lot on my iPad Pro and MacBook Air for the past 3+ years and they aren't wiggly at all. Given that, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with USB-C as a port in this regard.
Have you tried….yknow taking it back to Apple? Defects are a thing. Instead of spewing this political BS lmaoYup, I always said the USB-C port is a disaster vs. the secure and reliable lightning connector. Now it's confirmed: USB-C sucks. The connection is fragile at best:

Not necessarily.Or the fact that the iPhone use a daily utility that will see way more wear and tear on the port…

I've had that problem on every Lightning port.My USB-C charger falls out from the port from time to time from random wiggles when using while charging. I cleaned out some lint that was in the port and it’s a little bit better now, but it will still fall out of its connectors from time to time. The charger will still be in the port but I will notice my phone isn’t charging anymore so I have to push it back in. It can get pretty annoying.
