I'm still using my flat OnePlus usb-c cable that I received with my oneplus 3t in 2017.

Somehow the flat cables seem to last longer overall.

The flat type was the second to fail, my first was a standard tube-y one... Granted, I bought mine in 2020, I think, so it may account for a drop in quality.

Bought it exactly based on that rationale, no dice in my case. Started developing a crease right where the cable met the nub toward the USB-C end, then it devolved into severed connections - would work if I wiggled it. And I really didn't rough it up, it was either plugged into my PC, or plugged into a wall charger at night, with "normal' amounts of flexing (I feel there's a word for this, but I'm missing it).

It was my favourite from an aesthetic standpoint, too...
