I know (but man the validation feels nice!) :) I am the walking incarnation of Murphy’s law not just for this, but my whole life. I think I’m a black hole of bad so other people can have better. 🫡 (yes I know that’s not how it works, but it makes me feel slightly better about the fact that everyone around me does great).

No, it was a design flaw with the phone I bought. If you used anything other than the OEM charger you were risking breaking your charge port. And it legitimately broke, not just dirty : /

I bought before this flaw was known. Too bad too because it was usb-c, so it -should-have worked with whatever but it was designed ever so slightly out of spec…

They don’t make phones anymore, unsurprisingly…

Well from your track record and me knowing iphones break as well, I'm sure in the next year or two you'll have a chance to come back over to android.

Just get a case, glass screen protector, and never leave your phone in the car on warm or really cold days. Oh, and don't play on your phone while it's plugged in.
