Loose USB c port on MacBook Pro 2017

Just got mine back. The 2016 model had to replace the logi board and ports. Super pain! 3 days later I had 30 ejection improperly messages on the La Cie external when I woke up. Nothing moved all night! My Lightroom catalog was apparently correupted in Time Machine also and now my Lightroom is all messed up. This is more than incovenient! I can’t trust any drive or the MBP!

My warranty will get over in another month and I haven't experienced any automatic disconnection, however the frequently used ports are loose compared to others. After reading many users feedback, I am confused on whether to live with it or to give it for repair.

already reported this issue on chat, here is the reply.

"For this one, Apple haven’t release any updates about this one and we haven’t receive lots of case with the same issue, anyway thank you for letting me know. I will log this one."

I also have this problem.

My ports continuously disconnect while I barely move the Mac. It is impossible to use it connected to anything while in my lap. This is creating havoc in my external hard drives. Just now I am running the "first aid" repair (again) in one of them, because of the corruption generated by the continuous USB-C ports disconnects. What a pain.

This is my only computer, which I use for work. There is no Apple Store near me and losing access to the computer for repair for some days, will be troublesome for me. Reading this thread, it is saddening to know that, even with a replacement, the problem will reproduce again in the future.

This is not what I expect from such an expensive computer. Apple should find a solution and recall the affected units.

Same problem here - all USB C connectors are very loose and I frequently find out my MacBook hasn't been charging because the cable wiggled out by about 1/10th of a mm. God knows why they think they can sell e-gpus to MBP owners if this is the connector people will use it for.

Wish I could welcome you under better circumstances lol.

I read your post, I'm waiting for my 3rd repair to crap out as well. It's sad that after spending so much on a "premium" product that anyone would be at the point where they're anticipating a any sort of failure on the device. I too would probably have jumped over to the PC side if my work and personal usage wasn't so engrained into the Apple ecosystem. It's now August 5th- on August 13th, my repair and service coverage expires. I've been told that Apple guarantees their repairs for up to 1 year but thats honestly of little comfort as I am sure that, should they feel compelled, another excuse could be found for the same problem which would void that guarantee.

In the past it was easy to justify to myself that I should stay with a Mac when buying or upgrading. The fact that most of the software I need is just easier to use on a mac and the cost of having to re-license all of that software or find better alternatives for a PC was enough to keep me with a Mac. But once this one goes and it's no longer covered, I just dont know if I can justify another one especially looking at the prices for an equivalent 2018 model.

Update that the "disk not ejected properly" issue came back after a few weeks of uninterrupted performance and bliss and two trips to the Mac repair shop. I get the message when I am not at the keyboard and come back to dozens of error messages.

Try this on for substandard Apple tech tales. Bought a new Macbook pro on Friday. On Sunday, it corrupted a backups partition of a 4tb external hard drive. I bought a new 4tb drive and began rebuilding and consolidating dozens of external drives, old computer files and DVD archives on it. By the next Saturday, that drive was fried as well. I'm afraid to plug anything into my less than 2-weeks-old $2500 Macbook pro that has corrupted 8 terabytes of files and years of work in less than a week.

No, Grant, in all likelihood rgrip agreed to pay out of pocket for any damage resultant from reasonable wear and tear.

And he’s also doing a lot more than “grousing”. At minimum he’s warning other would-be buyers of a defect that’s impacting a good number of these not-inexpensive machines.

I‘d like to have seen warnings like this one before I bought mine.

Same problem here...

There have been others describing the exact same thing: Charger cable plug loose

"loose with time"? My macbook is only a couple years old! I've never had a problem, even with microusb in that amount of time. Isn't USB-C supposed to be more durable?

"If the work they do is not satisfactory, have them do it again."

Same problem here the usb c port, i have noticed its getting loose.
