Is there any way to slow down USB C wear?

Yeah I think the MagSafe option is the best way to slow the process down am thanks for the multiple solutions, but am I the only one having this issue or do you feel that they do degrade quite quick. my flagship phone uses USB C and I don't see the wear that I see on my laptops or customer ones.

Still using the older Unibody systems my self ;-} I wanted more RAM and serviceable RAM & storage than the retina models offered. While I would love to get a more powerful system, I'll wait until Apple smartens up.

I look at this way... A bike services one quite well in the city and a Jeep does well on the dirt roads in the country, and a Porsche does well on the autobahn! Each uses different paths which all can be parallel of each other! This holds true with connectivity as well. USB-A is great for slow I/O needs (keyboards, trackpads & mouse), USB-C for high speed I/O needs (drives), and Ethernet for the long haul internet connections.

USB-C is not ideal for power or slow device connections as the connection is too fragile between the pins size being small (really can't handle high current loads) and the likelihood of damage when you trip over the cord. And, the high wear one tends to put with wired keyboard & mouses constantly being connected. I love Bluetooth! There are a lot of places you can't use it and USB security keys require USB-A (without something in the middle which would be a security breach)!

If Apple had thought it through a bit they could have had their cake and ate it too! Look at the cable I posted now think if they had depressed the back two USB-C ports so the Plug part was just flush to the case when used Then I would have been happy! Still has its limits from a current perspective but at least it would have made a better system: USB-C MagSafe built-in!

Now they need to add in two USB-A ports and Ethernet and I would be happy from a ports perspective!
