Apologies if the wrong community, if there’s a better suited one, please point me to it!

But, I figure we all buy USB-C cables, and being a progressive group of folks maybe someone has a suggestion so I cause slightly less waste pollution and waste? Here’s hoping!

Edit: Allrighty, apparently I’m just rough on all my usb cables OR you have all teamed up to prank me.

    I just find that over time the ones I use for my phone get trickier and require more jiggling around to charge at max speed instead of glacial pace.

    From reading the responses though, I think I may just be too hard on my cables I guess. (Also my cat loves attacking them but I’m pretty good about keeping them away from her.)

      Have you tried cleaning out your phone port? A plastic flosspick works well. If there’s lint in the bottom it can keep the plug from seating properly and acts like you describe.

      I have had plenty of cables fail though so I don’t think you’re crazy.
