- plushpuffin 8y agoThe advantage of micro USB over mini is that the cheap cable's connector will wear out instead of the port on the expensive device. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_%28Physical%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_%28Physical%29 > The Micro connector is also designed to reduce the mechanical wear on the device; instead the easier-to-replace cable is designed to bear the mechanical wear of connection and disconnection.
