I ask myself the same question every day.

Anyway the USB-C I got with my phone lasted two years, but I've used it everywhere, my 1/4s broke because I've made the mistake of buying "by Klotz" cables, RJ-45 are mostly Chinese crap so no surprise here.



Maybe you’re pulling by the cable and not the connector? Some of the USB C connectors have very small connectors, making this an easy problem.

The more I think about it, I’d probably destroy lighting cables regularly if it weren’t for the fact that I only use wireless charging. You have to unplug that cable a lot, which is pretty hard on the cable and connector.
