In this (sample size of 1!) experiment, microUSB failed at 8000 insertions device side. USB C lasted beyond 8000 insertions.

This isn't the first time I've heard someone suggest Lightning is more durable than USB-C, but I've not seen evidence of it.

None of them are durable compared to a 'cylinder type' connector. I wish those were still the norm. I declared both my last two phones EOL when the USB connector began glitching during charging due to packed trouser dust and oxidation.
