    Oh no, I’m talking outright wrecked — you can see damaged pins upon observation.

    (To be clear to the downvoters, I see this in my job where I repair consumer tech. I’m not arguing that one port is clearly superior to the other and am simply observing some of the worst cases I’ve seen.)

    I clean out densely compacted pocket lint frequently out of customer devices. One needle nose tweezer end for extracting the bulk, then isopropyl on a thin lint free cloth pushed in with a small piece of plastic to determine what’s left inside that isn’t easily visible. Typically makes the port look as good as new.
