Android phones have had Micro, Mini, USB-C, and Micro-USB 3.0 (which is meaningfully different than Micro)

  Micro 3.0 is almost never going to be a problem because normal micro cables fit. And realistically, how many had mini? The very first nexus had micro. The Droid had micro. LG's first one had micro. I see HTC had a couple nonstandard quasi-mini models before moving to micro?

    A lot of tablets had mini. A lot. And supporting Micro 3 via Micro is a non-starter for most people, one of the best parts of the 3.0 standard was a much sturdier connector. It's a terrible experience using a Micro with a Micro 3 port.

Noted, but I'm most worried about phones. > And supporting Micro 3 via Micro is a non-starter for most people, one of the best parts of the 3.0 standard was a much sturdier connector. It's a terrible experience using a Micro with a Micro 3 port. Even then, that's no worse than a micro 2.0 port. For someone that prioritizes the downsides of port proliferation, then only micro 2.0 and C really matter; they get to ignore micro 3. For someone that prioritizes sturdiness, there's more to discuss, but it's a separate issue.
