USB Micro vs Type C vs Lightning
Which is the most durable?
Save us Scatman
>>53520817
phones themselves are dispensable, who cares about cables
>>53520817
I like lightning porr.
>>53520817
the biggest one with the most metal, because physics
>>53520817
USB C > Lightning > Micro USB
micro usb being at the bottom because it's not durable at all.
My micro is fucked up on my HTC m8.
Kill this technology already.
The one you abuse the least
>>53520995
seriously. Had to replace my S4 usb port 3 times. Shit is crazy fragile.
microusb is shit
I plug in my phone in my computer a few times a day; and about a month ago the connection started randomly cancelling, canceling my file transfers.
Even the flimsy-looking proprietary connector of the old sony ericsson phones lasted years... μsb is a joke.
Micro USB master race
USB C is a meme and Lightning is Macfag shit.
>>53520817
Mini USB
>>53521034
Well quit manhandling your phone.
>>53520817
Micro USB is good if you use good quality cables but /g/ is retarded so that's out the window.
Type C is obviously the future, if you've done your research you'd know that's a given.
Lightning is a joke, nobody with a brain is using iPhones so why even talk about it?
>>53521161
the micro usb slots are like OP's anus, gradually getting looser and looser over time
>>53521219
Fuck you, I should be able to buy any cheap ass chinese cable and have it just werk.
>>53521284
my s4 i had since it was released here still has a micro sd port as tight as a newborns ______
>>53521326
>______
Is this a new epic meme?
>>53521284
That's rude, you don't even know him or her.
USB C > Lightning > Micro USB
I haven't tried Type-C yet, but I really love Lightning. I have both a Galaxy Nexus and an iPhone 6 and the difference is staggering. I like that there's no internal thing to fuck up when you plug it in--it's all plug and socket, rather than some kind of hyaena-tier female pseudopenis thing.
not a Macfag btw, just enjoy all toys and gadgets
PC cases with front panel USB type C when?
>>53521313
You actually can buy cheap ass Chinese cables as long as you know which one to buy. Look up Blitzwolf's reversible USB cables. I paid about $2 each incl. shipping on Banggood. They've gone up in price but still very cheap.
>>53521424
They'll probably start coming very soon, would be surprised if there aren't already some.
>Lightning is still limited to USB 2.0
ayyy
My phone uses micro usb and it is complete shit. Had to get a new phone cause the last one port had broke cause it's so damn flimsy.
My wife has an iPhone and the lightning connectors seem pretty solid. But apple is death.
>>53521964
can't believe USB2's low data speeds are limiting how fast i can charge my phone
>>53520817
Who gives a fuck? If you aren't retarded either will easy last you a decade aka. longer than the phone should.
Type C is simply the most reasonable standard due speed/size/functionality balance.
>>53521424
I have a pretty bleeding edge meme system* and even then I only have a single USB-C connector in the back panel (the rest are normal 3.1).
I doubt we're going to start seeing these cases until one USB-C connector is commonplace in the back. Generally, cases are half a gen behind mobos because ramping up manufacturing for a case is high risk; it takes quite a bit of time and money, while having mediocre profit margins in a fairly small market.
Hopefully there'll be some niche cases that come out with them sooner to fill the gap, like an NCase M1 v5 (my machine is a M1 v1). These really small custom jobs are much quicker to adopt latest trends.
*Meme machine being an ITX system with a 6700k, R9 Nano, 950 Pro m.2 SSD, 16 GB DDR4 3200. The mobo is Gigabyte's Z170N-Gaming 5.

your mom, considering how many men safely ejected out of her
>>53521126
Retard
>>53520939
USB C has a connector in the middle, that connector is seperated and very thin. If it were to bend then you wouldnt be able to put the cable in anymore. Lightning doesn't have this issue.
Therefore:
Lightning > USB C > micro USB
>>53522379
>>53521126
slow down there, obvious troll.
but seriously, fuck micro usb.
>>53522428
From what I've seen, it's still pretty durable and you'd have to be a retarded ham beast to break it
Also exposed pins like Lightning would be terrible since USB-C can send like 100 watts of power
>>53522428
>>53522507
They both have ups and downs. In terms of durability, USB-C is surprisingly more durable than you'd think, so I'd make them about equal.
I have a big issue with lightning's USB 2.0 limitation though.
>>53521126

>taking the bait
>>53521034
>>53520995
How? My micro is still fine on my old M7 to this day.
>>53520817
Well, I will tell you what isn't the most durable.
And.
>Phones like the OnePlus 2 having USB type C but still being limited to USB 2.0 transfer speeds
Why was this started?
>>53522727
Mine m7 usb is fucked
>>53522770
>>53522801
which one is this?
>>53522982
Lightning of course.
Lighting >>>> Micro USB. Haven't used Type-C yet.
>>53522727
It's just chance with these
I hate Apple products with a passion for various reasons, but if there's something they do right, it's the Lightning connector. The only reason why I envy IPhone users.
So, Lightning > C > Micro
Micro is fucking cancer and should die in a fire. The more manufacturers move on to C, the better. Micro needs to die.
>>53521362
No, but it is a promising maymay
Lightning is most durable, I had my hopes up for Type C, but when I saw it had an island in it I was fucking crushed. Just as shit an micro.
>>53521219
I don't care about the fucking cables, they're disposable, I care about the phone.

>2016
>using cables

One someone would need using cables in this year?
>>53523725
There is no standard for wireless charging above ~5V1A, and the current implementations are inefficient as hell.
>>53523725
>only 2 hours
>only
someone should make a 5.25" bay with a couple USB-C, a couple USB-A, an SD card reader and maybe some fan controls

Isn't the middle connector recessed? I don't see how it's possible break it, you'd have to intentionally stick the plug in there wrong in order to break it and even then you'll probably ruin the entire port/phone to get to that point
I'm not really sure what the argument is here. Port quality depends on the quality of the port, no what shape it is.
Lightning and type-c are pretty much the same.
However, Lightning has got the right in my opinion, having the male on the cable. (I know they're both technically male, but you catch my drift)
>>53523980
Type C can't use exposed pins like Lightning because of how much power it's capable of sending over the cable
>micro usb is clearly shit
>nothing I have uses usb c
>can't say nice things about lightning, 'cause apple
>think, brain! think! oh, this must be like how the republicans feel right now...
Lightning > USB C > Micro USB
Only reason the USB C looks like it does is because Apple would have sued if "their" design was followed!
Still the USB C will still outlast most phones i think! Very sturdy!
Bring back mini 5 pin USB
>>53524202
Too thick, not reversible, severely limited features
Lightning is the worst shit, but Macfags will defend it to death.
I used to have problems with micro USB getting loose on my old phones, but the manufacturing must have gotten better because in the past two years I haven't had a single issue with it.

why the fuck I need more? I only charge my phone when I go to sleep and just leave it in the night table
>>53522428
USB-C was designed so that in case you use too much force on the connection, the cable would break rather than the port itself as happens with the lightning connector.
Every fucking time
>>53524368
>input
You idiot
>>53521447
>>53521424
They are fucking expensive
A pci adapter for a single usb type c is fucking $50
>>53524520
That's called the idiot tax
>>53521362
Not every joke has to be a fucking meme
Why is USB-C not standard yet? It seems miles better but only a few devices support it, and companies seem to be like "maaaaaaaaybe next year lol :))))"
Is there some inherent flaw that I'm not seeing?
>>53524629
What does that have to do with Type C?

0-30% in 30 minutes, it's faster than any normal usb chargers.
keep living in the past if you want.

>>53524681
wow my phone get's fully charged in like 90 minutes using usb
wireless charging is indeed amazing
>>53524681
And it's still slower than qualcomm quick charge 2.0
I have USB C and it's pretty awesome, too bad the cables are really expensive atm

>>53524719

yes is 30 minutes slower that quick charge, big fucking deal.
not a reason for me to use cables again in my life
>>53524910
Were you ass raped by cables?
>>53524681
>10x the cost so that you don't have to plug something in one or two specific situations
What a waste.
>>53525004
were your ass raped wirelessly?
>>53520995
same. mine can barely charge.
>>53525078
>$30 charger that still needs a cable vs. just a cable
>>53525115
you clearly are retarded
>>53524476
Honestly Triggered. Fuck Micro USB.
>>53525182
The Qi chargers and cables and cheaper than just cables?
>>53524476
I never broke a USB connector, fucking idiot nigger, put the USB on the watermelon and you break it
>>53521126
I've never had a lightning cable fail on me nor has any iPhone I've owned have a lightning port issue.
I've had several phones where the micro USB connection would be spotty and require finesse to find a "sweet spot" for the contacts to properly work and also several micro USB devices whose ports have been damaged from normal wear and tear.
But the most fragile port in modern technology has to be Mini USB. These fuckers have an inevitable failure rate and are a pain in the ass to resolder.
>>53525448
The bad part about lightning is the exposed pins. Apple blows at making decent cables, but there are good 3rd party ones, and the port itself seems pretty great.
>>53520817
most durable is lightning, best overall seems to be type c.
usb3.1 over lightning would be GOAT
>>53524537

Has never happened to me ever.

>a new and more convenient technology is more expensive
no shit
>>53525448
>These fuckers have an inevitable failure rate
I have had no problems. Maybe it is just user error.
>>53523001
what did you do?
grab the end with pliers and yank the tip off?
lightning seems sturdy as hell from the lmited time ive been using it (6 months)
if only it didn't have fucking DRM built into it and it would be amazing
Despite the fact that it's non-standard, the Lightning connector is a brilliant design and I wish that's what microUSB could have been. There's a solid snap when locked in and it's hard to fuck it up unless you're really trying.
>>53526464
Don't ask me, those are discarded cables I have found.
Most likely the people tried to put their phone down into something it only just fit in with the cable plugged in and it snapped off.
lightning is shit because the pins are exposed
usb-c wrapps the pins in a cylinder of metal
>>53522770
>apple connector
they've never been durable, type-C isn't the reason for that.
>>53522347
That is totally a meme machine, but I love it. Do you have any pictures?
>>53526352
>saving 0.25 seconds once a day is considered a convenience
