Micro USB was pretty well established 10 years ago. USB 3.0 micro B was just out (2010) and probably would have been a strong contender, since the socket could also accept a USB2 micro B plug.

- hulitu 5y agoTo be honest so is USB-C. When the connector is not designed for hundreds of matings it will fail sooner than expected. USB-A connector was designed for 12 matings. For USB-C i could not find anything on DDG.
