I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

      Every quarter? This is why I asked what was meant by ‘a lot’. If you’re going to claim that the extra wear caused would be this extreme I’d like for that to be at least somewhat substantiated.

        I can only substantiate my claims with my own experience after buying a new phone. I believe my last two were jackless, and in both cases it got impossible to use the usbc port for listening to audio on the go in like a month or two (constant disconnects). Now this doesnt impact charging (resting position) but its absolutely impossible for me to use in ears on the go (usbc), so id go another step and say its just plain useless.
