Comment on Not buying a shaver from Philips again..

  I literally won’t buy a product that uses micro USB. It’s the only.standard cable I have used where I’ve had both cables and the connector on the device fail.

    Just on a regularly occurring basis. They were always the failure point in my devices.

    Absolutely garbage durability.

      Absolutely garbage durability.

      That’s why I also mentioned Type B

    Mini USB is much less popular

      Doesn’t break as often as Micro USB so I hate it slightly less. :D

  B is fine, just a bit big. Agree on micro though.

    B is for big. My favorite plugs are C13 and Type B. Don’t know why.

  Alternatives are worse

    How is USB-C worse than either of them

      Lots of pins, hard to solder, requires higher precision in PCB manufacturing

        Pretty sure most people here are talking about the usage side of things. If we were to go by effort to implement the connector, let’s just go back to serial ports
