Until now my chargers have been outliving the devices they came with

I’ve never had to replace a charger.

Not often. I still use ones from 10 years ago. The only reason I typically buy a new one is because I’m relying more and more on USB C charging and things like my Steam Deck and laptop require a relatively high wattage

I can’t remember a charger ever going bad on me. It’s always been the cables!

Quality chargers rarely break until some EOL date many years later due to age. At few “chargers” (PSU’s really) died in 24/7 use for my router which were likely lower quality.

I’ve never had a power brick fail and I’ve only had maybe 2 cables wear out in 15 years.

Best to go with chargers with replaceable cables. If you do that, I don’t see any reason the charger shouldn’t outlive the phone.

I don’t think I’ve ever broken a charger… 4 usb c ports (on 2 phones and 2 keyboards), 1 3.5mm port and countless headphone cables but never the male usb part of a usb c

Um, never?

I’ve lost chargers on several occasions, and I’ve switched from older ones to newer ones for faster charging, but the older ones still work as spares.

Cables, on the other hand…

Slightly off topic, but if you’re staying at a hotel and forget your charger, go to the front desk and ask if they have any extras. People tend to leave them behind, so the hotel usually has spares.
