USB-C sucks
CarPlay was randomly going in and out today. Took me a moment to realize the plug was loose. I jiggled it a little to reconnect. Awhile later, it went out again. As I was readjusting it dawned on me, this thing is becoming permanently loose.
I had never had this problem with the Lightning connector. So much so that it didn’t Really register with me the first few times it happened.
Don’t go blaming a standard for one vendors crap implementation. If iPhone build quality disappoints you, that’s fair.
A valid criticism of the standard is all the subtypes and the lack of standard cord labeling for them.
