It was WORSE with USB micro, WORSE.
- All the same problems: not all USB micro are created equal, some are supposed to be used at different voltages
- But some cables for peripherals didn't use micro they used normal USB, which was hard to put in because you always got which way was up mixed up, that's gone now :)
- What's worse, all the USB micro cables eventually bent because they were so flimsy. 6 months shelf life, maximum.
- And they weren't symmetrical either
So now we have a cable that's symmetrical, that you can use for peripherals and power. Yes, different power cables disguised as the same is still a problem, but this is a step in the right direction if you ask me.
The only thing I don't like is that now peripherals are smaller and easier to get unplugged, like my HDMI to USB-C that I'm using right now for one of my monitors.
- kart23 6y agoUsb micro was such a garbage cable. After 6 months of using my phone, the connector action felt completely smooth, and you could pull the cable out with no force. usb-c has been much better, feels much more consistent and has a satisfying click.
