Comment on The EU common charger : USB-C
grayman@lemmy.world 8 months agoIt’s a lot harder to find good cables. The connector wears out fairly quickly. C can be better, but cheapness makes it worse in many cases.

That sounds like buying cheap getting cheap. Good USB c cables from ugreen and similar aren’t that expensive in my experience.

They all wear. C seems to wear faster and easier. I’m buying the “good” cables. Only stuff with really high reviews (score and count), such as ugreen. The better quality so last a lot longer, but not as long as other formats. I have 10 year old lightning cables. I can’t get more than a couple years out of a C cable.

Personally all lightning cables I’ve seen have been damaged in some way. Those weren’t my cables tho. And regarding USB c haven’t had a failure either.
