"It would seem the charger of choice would be the Micro-USB as of now, though who knows what the next big thing will be."
Forcing everyone to use a government-sanctioned standard is a good way to prevent the next big thing from happening and succeeding.

Don't ever think of taking your washing machine with you when you move to another state. Honestly? MicroUSB has been the next big thing. Before, you had to toss out your charger when your phone broke; now you can keep it and don't need to shell out for an extra charger if you have a perfectly servicable one. Of course, Apple products are special, so you're only good if you buy this: http://store.apple.com/de/product/MD820ZM/A/lightning-auf-micro-usb-adapter?fnode=3c http://store.apple.com/de/product/MD820ZM/A/lightning-auf-mi... (Does this count as the next big thing?)

- felipeerias 13y agoThe main reason why Apple's solution is special is because it is intended to charge both phones and tablets. The only real problem with it is that it is proprietary and not standard. Other than that, it is clearly superior to MicroUSB.
