The USB-C charging ports on my phones have always collected lint to the point they totally stop working and have to be cleaned out vigorously.

I don't know how this problem is so much worse with USB-C or the physics behind it, but it's a very common issue.

This port could be improved for sure.

As someone with both a usb-c and micro-usb phone, I can assure you that other connectors are not free of that problem. The micro-usb one definitely feels worse. Not sure about the old proprietary crap that used to be forced down our throats so we buy Apple AND Nokia chargers, and a new one for each model, too.
