What phones have the best charging ports?
Here are the most likely brands to break by charging port failure. I can say that I see a lot of iPhones, but usually a good port cleaning fixes the issue. Samsung's number may look high, but remember that they just make a lot more models than apple. Also, these are fairly easy and inexpensive to replace whereas apple iPhones require a motherboard removal to replace the port.
- Apple 10%(PewResearch) To be fair to Samsung - these OFTEN go out and are fixed by cleaning the port - I do see a lot of these.
- Samsung 20%(Rewa Tech) A large portion of these are specific models (A series, but i do see the occasional S series go bad, also).
- Google Pixel 30% (ClaimsJournal) Oddly, this is the statistic, but I rarely have one come into the store.
- Others 40% (ClaimsJournal) I'm assuming these are mostly Motorola phones.
