Oh, I missed the “micro” part. Yeah, micro-B is awful.

When Apple was dragging its feet about moving to USB-C, I remember people talking about how terrible a connector Lightning was. I was confused, because yeah compared to USB-C Lightning was terrible, but Lightning was miles better than micro-B and mini-B, which were the standards when Lightning was created.

Apple held onto it too long because they were greedy. But when they made it, it was a damn good connector for the time.
