The thin pc board inside the USB-C connector is prone to breaking. Angled insertion/removal also leverages the pins soldered to the mainboard and can eventually break them loose.

The Lightning connector was superior in many ways. I have no idea why everyone is celebrating this downgrade.

Now no one is ever able to improve on the connector reliability because the EU has frozen the design forever by enshrining it into law?
