> It was literally touted as the main reason why Apple shouldn't switch to micro-USB. Apple using it as an excuse has nothing to do with it being a problem in the real world. > it breaks way too easily and seems to take very few connection cycles before it stops making a good connection. Never even heard of this actually happening in practice at the time. How hard were you pushing them in?! > - Symmetric: Every laptop has host-side USB-C. A few laptops have it. No peripherals (outside of those docks) actually use it because the hubs barely exist and very few have more than one. > The micro-B "3.0 appendage" is ridiculous and huge So? It's still tiny compared to the cable itself, this isn't a real problem. > and no device which uses micro-B ended up supporting it in practice (except for I believe a couple Samsung phones?) Those devices don't supposed 3 over USB-C either. If anything, USB 3 support in peripherals has declined the last few years. > - Power delivery: Qualcomm QuickCharge is proprietary garbage. It could have been standardized yes, but is there any reason to believe Qualcomm would have wanted that? QCQC over USB-C was a thing too, for a while. I guess we'll just have to wait for USB-D for fast charging!
