Pixel 7 Pro. It's definitely not lint. I'll try the cables with other devices after they stop working and they're dead. I've resorted to buying the expensive cables and even those eventually wear out.
I've had issues with the cable on my pixel 6 pro not staying seated - so I plug the phone in and if there's slight movement and it stops charging, very annoying... I also had the same issue with my pixel 5, so much so that I had to get it repaired. I don't do anything unusual wear and tear wise (like working on a building site), and since the 5, I always make sure the port is debris free before plugging in.
It's frustrating because I have an iPhone for work and the connection on that is reassuringly solid.
Yeah, the iPhone cable is nice. It's just a simple male to female, not this double inception stuff that USB-C is. But USB-C is faster, and more universal. I guess the problem is probably my phone. I already had to get it replaced once because the port burned out. Great job Google! Nice flagship phone you've got there.
Do you often use your phone hand-held while it is charging? The devices should be able to handle it, of course, but it sounds like you've had a lot of issues!
Agreed on the Apple lightning connector though. I am happy to see USB-c finally becoming the standard, but it's mechanically a nice connector.
I wouldn't say "often", but occasionally. I guess a few times per week for 10-20 minutes or so.
