alt Hacker NewsMy phone's USB-C port is worn out, and so now it's a brick if I don't have a wireless charging dock around.
Is it physically impossible to get bandwidth and power out of something as durable as a Magsafe connector, even a larger-scale version?

I generally stick magnetic USB C connectors into things like keyboards, phones, and iPads.
The slight bulge is worth the reduction in insertions. Also is very convenient for snapping when I need to connect.

How do you "wear out" a usbc port? Is this phone like 15 years old? My imagination is boggled.

I wonder if you could bond one of those magnetic USB-C cables onto your port.
