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.)
Designing all devices for consumer persona that never does anything exciting is the hardware enshittification I didn't see coming 😆
Gone are the days of rugged, repairable tools that lasted long enough to hand over to next generation. Sigh.
M.S. Bellows, Jr.@harshad On the other hand, J-B Weld still is available, and I see no reason why it wouldn't work on power cords.

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.
