Who the hell still uses micro usb bro? Lol. nikkas walkin around with Galaxy S7’s around here? Lol
Plenty of devices still use USB micro. Obviously I have an iPhone given my comments on the lightning connector, so I’m not talking about phones. Every other device I use uses USB micro. Two sets of Bluetooth headphones bought last year (one pods, one corded around the neck) both use USB micro. Bose Bluetooth speaker bought in 2019...uses Bluetooth micro (just like my older jll Bluetooth speakers). My external battery bought in either 2018 or 2019 uses USB micro. My niece’s external battery, bought in 2020 uses USB micro. I’m pretty sure kindle e readers still use USB micro.

As mentioned in the article, this made sense back when there were 30 different connectors. Now that there’s just 3, I don’t see the point of this.

objectively speaking, there are advantages to the lightning connector, namely the ease of insertion. Those micro usb connectors are orientation specific which can be annoying.
USB-C does not have this problem

Why do you nikkas refuse to read the thread before posting? This is addressed literally two posts down from the one you quoted. All you’re doing is cluttering the thread with useless responses:why:
Aren't you cluttering the thread as well by posting this? You could have posted nothing, but here we are.

Nope, cuz it served a purpose: attempting to get you to do better, the next time you enter a thread late and are tempted to respond to a post at the beginning of a discussion just to raise points that had already been raised and discussed.

Maybe you choose to heed it, or maybe you’ll choose to be obstinate for the sake of being obstinate, but you won’t be ignorant of the matter. :yeshrug:

USB-C and call it a day.
