Given that the iPhone is rated IP68, or impervious to dust and small particles, this seems like grounds for a return claim (or lawsuit in the states, idk).

The charging port is very pervious to dust and small particles.

...they shouldn't get into the phone innards, but shove a USBC in there with them and they can definitely ruin the charging port.
