Harshad SharmaUSB-C slowly becoming standard for power is all fine, but when can we have ports that don't wear out easily?
Gimme screw-fastened XLR ports you cowards! (Or anything else that will not come apart when mounted on motorcycle.)

I buy the magnetic charging cables that come with All The Bits (USB-C, Lightning, micro USB), and plug the bit into the device ONCE. That saves a lot of wear and tear.
Motorcycles are another whole issue. Vibration will flat-out eff-up an iPhone, and probably most other phones. If you're using it primarily to shoot video, a GoPro is built for that abuse. GPS turn-by-turn? Keep the phone in your pocket, use Bluetooth earpiece.
@jprestonian phone was not mounted to the motorcycle, it was on a chest mount (much less of the harsh vibrations) and charging via power bank. Yet.
Other phone has a wonky port just from regular use over a year.
I'm looking at Insta360 X3 as dashcam, the battery lasts only one way to town, which is ~90min. Don't want to carry multiple batteries as my longer rides are often 8+hours. Don't want to ruin its port.
Magnetic might work, maybe. The roads here are bumpy.
