Topic: there's a weird hatred out there for the micro USB plug form, they want USB C or fuck off

boof started this discussion 1 year ago #121,255

Here's a quote: "I hate the micro USB connector too, it is so outdated!" Hate? it's so small and ignorable and frankly, not much different in looks from USB C other than the asymmetry. This is so, who gives a shit, I can't even

For me it's a convenience thing. I love this push for USB-C everywhere, but it isn't USB-C itself, just that everything uses the same connector. It's nice to use one charger on all my devices, and it's nice to know that I always have the correct cable laying around if needed.

40gbps transfer speeds with C and only 5 with Micro

Fast charge, 100W output opposed to micros 9

More functionality including video output and peripheral

Just some of the reasons why C is a big improvement on Micro

only if the devices involved is using those capabilities -- people bitch when a new version of a device comes out still has the microUSB despite the usage having nothing to do with the super capabilities

Probably because they now have to go out and buy a micro-usb wire or plug. Or it just has an air of the manufacturer being cheap and not focusing on a quality product.

Not all cables with USB C connectors support the full feature set, but they all look exactly the same. That's a problem. The USB C situation is worse than all prior USB connectors in that regard.

That depends on the USB version not the shape. There's usb c cables that have usb 2 speeds

Yes but they break and need replacing, and it sucks trying to find a microUSB in your house when everything you have is C

"Why do people say they prefer usb c to microUSB wires?"

"Because it's better for X, Y, Z reasons"

"☝️🤓 Um actually though the wire has to support a certain protocol, otherwise it doesn't have these features and the functionality is indistinguishable"

But a micro usb cable won't have those functions at all and they are available with usb c (though usb c cables with the same protocol as micro cables are available and still better than micro)

You thought about them for long enough to re-word what I told you. My job here is done. Consider yourself... Educated ☝️😎
