@saxnot Nothing wrong with USB-C as long as you don't rely on it as the only port on your phone. USB-C + Qi Charging + 3.5mm headphone jack and you've got yourself something that will work great in the long run. If literally all you have is USB-C and you're relying on it for charging and for headphones, I suspect your USB port will be the first thing to die on your phone.
I think it's important to think long-term now that phones are basically fine and most phone plans don't come with a free replacement phone every couple years so there's much less incentive to buy a new one since the new one will be just as fine as your old one and you'll be paying for your new one.

@saxnot I've never seen a screen die unless someone broke it. I've seen batteries die but also generally replacing a battery is relatively simple and the battery dying is a function of age, not really what you do with it. If you don't need to use a mechanical port to charge and you have another port for headphones then you're going to be using that port very little and it'll last quite a while which can be important especially if it's on the mainboard and you don't really have a way to replace it.
