I don’t damage my ports I don’t have a frame of reference for them not being robust.

I do know that I can’t really use headphones with my iPhone because the experience blows because they disconnect. I do know that often my phone isn’t charged because the connection from the charger wasn’t good. C type is a better experience and the only time I’ve had a defective or damaged C port was on a sub $100 BLU phone

Try taking a toothpick and scraping in the inside of the lightning port. In my experience when the connection gets flakey its pocket lint building up.

Be careful not to crape the walls too hard though, that could damage the clamping pins that connect to the cable. Only go inwards.
