rotating the plug breaks connectivity, plug rotation has zero benefit and real drawbacks
conical contact requires huge amount of surface area but can only make a minuscule contact patch, stupidly large for the small amount of current it needs to handle
absurdly long
horizontally layered contacts allow for misalignment and crossed pinouts for no good reason, more susceptible to lint collection causing this problem than vertically aligned connectors like lightning/usb-c

its poo poo and I'm glad apple is killing it

rotating the plug doesn't break connectivity and none of those things you mention actually happen outside of you manually wiring the plug yourself and loving it up

I am rotating the plug of my $10 monoprice earbuds that are plugged into my iPhone SE, which is also plugged into power. I'm not getting any crackling or broken audio. Sounds like you broke your poo poo and blamed the design.

If you are clumsy enough to gently caress up and break a 3.5mm port/plug, you will definitely gently caress up and break a lightning plug.
