Re: EU will love this
I've been using the same MicroUSB cable at my desk to charge my previous personal phone (current one is USB-C) and now my work phone for about 4 or 5 years now. It isn't a fancy, expensive one either, just a cheap one that came with the phone. I know the plugs aren't the most robust in the world, but if you only get 2-3 months out of a cable, it's either dreadful quality, or you are mistreating it in some way.
