    You could also set up wireless charging and put the phone down for a bit.

      Or magnetic USB-C adapters. Keeps the gunk out of the charging port while still retaining functionality (including fast charging). There’s also charge-only adapters, which are handy for travel when you don’t trust the port the phone is connected to.

        This is the answer.

        I’ve used them for close to 10 years. Started because one phone had a touchy port. Glued the adapter in the right position and never had a problem.

      I had a phone that I put the charging cable in backwards, and the port was completely broken. Bought a wireless charger and never had any problems.

      (Whoever decided to standardize phone chargers on that connector should be put into prison.)

      For whoever isn’t aware, you can just add wireless charging to a device. It’s a paper thin cord and a pad that goes under whatever case you have. You won’t even notice it’s there under your case. They work well.

      The last time I plugged my phone in to charge was … Well, never with this one.

      It has a 3.5mm and a Qi charging and sharing rig. I wish I could have this phone forever.
