Re: oh no!
"Not micro-USB! The horror!
Sorry, I may be struggling to see this as a terribly material issue."
Micro-USB is not particularly durable. I've spent a fortune on replacement cables (and replaced the connector on both a tablet and phone). It's particularly frustrating when cables work with some devices but not others, or work intermittently.
USB type C should be more durable.
As a bonus, type C can handle faster charging, faster data and are more easily plugged in.
I wouldn't spend that amount of money on something with a proven - to - be - unreliable connector, but maybe they've calculated they'll get extra sales from those that wish to remain with microUSB.
Happy to read the replies from people that haven't had a problem with either their micro USB devices or their Whirlpool washing machines.
