Flip that bad boi upside down :) booyah
To preserve port life I keep it capped and only ever charge inductively.
Odds are your phone has a modern connector so this isn’t necessary. I replaced my pixel 3a, which I bought in September 2019, last December. Thanks to wired phone projection, I cycled its USB-C connector twice a day for 5 years and 3 months. That’s ~4,000 cycles. The connector specification calls for a 10,000 cycle lifetime.
I did have to de-lint the connector from time to time, but other than that I had no issues.
Not to say that you shouldn’t use inductive charging of course :)
Um, well the other elephant in the room is that if you cap off the port and never use it, it’s also irrelevant what its service lifetime is since you’re never going to use it.
That lifetime assumes a clean testing setup.
In the real world, grit and dust will work into the charging port and wear down the connectors much sooner.
