USB-C ports constantly wearing out on late model 13" MacBook Pro's

[kathyricks]

Just bought my 3rd MacBook Pro due to the USB-C ports becoming non-functional after 8-10 months of use. I plug and unplug them often so they physically wear out. To prevent this I would like to find a USB-C to USB-C adapter that I could keep plugged into the computer so that just the adapter periodically wears out. I haven't had luck finding a USB-C to USB-C adapter. Does anyone know if they are available?

This is my concern about the rumored iPhone with USB-C. USB-C ports seem to be too fragile for excessive plugging and unplugging, like what one would do to charge their phone.

There are a bunch of them.

Here is the first one to pop up in a search:

At least for charging, you could look into magnetic adapters. Most limit charging to 60W but that's still plenty imho.

Yeah, it's been shown that Lightning is good for long-term usage.
