This cable you must lift, DO NOT PULL. The other cable you must pull, DO NOT LIFT. You must know these rules that no one told you about, otherwise you might break the equipment.

And other hardware keeps copying Apple because they assume that Apple must know what they're doing. Here's a simulation of me at night trying to find the headphone cable receptacle on the new Bose QC versus old Bose QC.

Everyday I have this problem on the new. Never had on the old.

The edges of these receptacles are also too sharp. If they had smoothened the entrance a little bit, it would automatically guide the connector when you have small misalignments.
