    I was happy when usb c came out because it looked like it had to be a significant improvement over micro usb, in terms of longevity and reliability.

    It’s looking like it’s only a slight improvement though, which sucks.

      I only used Apple for a very short time, but their connector seemed pretty neat. Small and with satisfying haptics. Too bad they are so shitty about patents and standards.

      Idk what cables and devices youve been buying but ive seen an insane difference in durability going to micro to c.

      For a start, none of my usb c cables have lost their gripping strength, one of which ive been using daily for over 6 years.

      None of my usb c devices have had the central pin blade thing fall off or fatige to the point of not making a connection,

      The one down side ive seen to usb c is that when i accidentally rolled my chsir over a connector, it did crush the oval inwards but i pried that open again and stuck it in my desk mic and its been working fine since.
