Will replacement USB-C ports be upgraded?

My MBP has the original USB-C ports that have the '‘pcb” edges that wore out quickly causing cables to fail to ‘click’ in and stay connected.

I was in a store this weekend and found the the newest MacBooks have the proper metal edging to the connector and cables pop in and stay as expected.

Does anyone know if they will be updating the replacement part for the 2016’s ports and add that metal edge?

It’s maddening that I cannot reliably charge a $2k laptop. :(

Answer this question I have this problem too

Sadly, Apple would have offered an updated part by now which they haven't

I doubt that Apple will ever upgrade their existing ports. However, that doesn’t rule out the possibility that aftermarket parts will have that feature.
