My true story.Honestly, after using it for more than a month, I am really glad that this phone has micro b instead of type C. I find it adequate enough, plus, all of my power banks and valve are still in micro b. I do know that type c has more durable port and cable but honestly I never found any degredation problem with all of my normal size micro b device. Even my backup phone from 2012 still has a good micro b ports. I only ever have problem with micro b ports in my USB3.0 external hard drive, though we all can agree that USB3.0 micro b need to go.*
