I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

Make sure there's no lint and dust compacted in the bottom of the port if you haven't already. It isn't always entirely obvious but it can affect both lightning and USB-C and you can usually get it out with some careful use of a sewing needle.
