Takes charge of your charging. For a tiny component, the USB-C port carries a lot of power, literally. From making sure your Fairphone is charging properly to transferring data at optimal speeds, the USB-C port is a key player. However, compared to other parts within your phone, the USB-C port is also the one that’s under the most physical stress. Cables are plugged in and out on a daily basis, while the port’s open design leaves it exposed to the elements. Over time, this might result in faster wear and tear. Thankfully, with a Fairphone, you can pop in a new one in minutes, for a fraction of the cost of a new device.
