Anyone with an iPhone 15 series device find their USB-C port to be loose? When I have it plugged in the car for CarPlay my cable frequently pops out if I nudge it accidentally. I’ve tried different brands of cables, and all of them wiggle loose eventually.

For context I’m using an iPhone 15 Pro.

    Lightning cables are actually backwards to what is desired:

    In USB standards the part that wears out (the spring pins) are on the cable, and thus easily replaced. In lightning the wear piece is in the expensive device, the cable has no moving parts. Beyond that, lightning has exposed pins, kind of a bad idea.

    Definitely better than micro B, but far inferior to USB C.

      That is simply incorrect. In lightning the wearing part also was on the cable. Simply by it being a softer metal.
