Believe it or not, THIS is what's holding me back from getting the Moto G5 Plus over the OnePlus 5 for my first Android phone (see here). The thought of dealing with a mini-USB cable and making sure it's always facing the correct way has me concerned. The USB-C cable on the OnePlus 5 would surely be easier than that mini-USB. Logically it's not worth spending $200 more on a phone to avoid a type of cable, but man I've always hated those mini-USB cables!

But still all too often you'd have to check which way around the other end on the phone is. Micro-USB is just annoying to plug in compared to USB-C/Lightning.
Thanks, that should help when it's light out. But it's still dark out when I leave for work in the morning and I often have to "feel" my way around when plugging in the Lightning connector of my iPhone.
Yes, not having to deal with a cable is nice, too.
iPhone users will finally understand why it is idiotic to dismiss wireless charging -- as Apple has done in the past -- just because the wireless charger itself is connected to a plug.
Ill go with $69Except that Apple's wireless charging solution will almost certainly be proprietary and require the purchase of a $99 charging pad that only they sell.
Oh.. I did not know that, I retract my bet immediately.I'll take that bet.
You know they already charge $79 for this---and it's only for the watch.

Tim Cooks recent interview even had him say you cant be afraid to change your mind on things.
I didn't say I don't find Android intuitive, rather that I don't find it as intuitive as iOS.
In my personal experience, iOS is designed with ease of use in mind and requires minimal intervention from the end user to work correctly. Android, however, requires a lot more user input to configure to one's liking. Of course, that's not necessarily a drawback, as it allows far more customization than iOS. However, I am at the point where I no longer have the time nor desire to tinker with phones. I'd rather have a phone that, pardon the cliche, just works. When I was an avid Android user (pre-iPhone 6), I used to root and ROM just about every phone I had. Eventually, it got tiresome.
Last night, I prepared the HTC U11 for return and went back to my 6s Plus. It feels like an old, broken in leather jacket that goes well with every outfit.
Companies don't operate by the seat of their pants. Apple, imo, has a 5 and 10 year plan and they are executing it. Nobody is going to change apple's way of doing business unless people stop buying their products, and that hasn't happened.
but there is bloat in IOS as well and you can't delete most it. Then if you can delete apps to use a different app IOS still looks for the default app and will not map to the preferred app.
News in junk? It's pretty good imo.but there is bloat in IOS as well and you can't delete most it. Then if you can delete apps to use a different app IOS still looks for the default app and will not map to the preferred app.
I don't have an Apple Watch or an Apple TV yet the apps seem to always reappear during every major update.
So you have to tinker with IOS as well.
To be honest....you have to tinker with any new gadget....
But I don't like the Apple News app...so I have to install a different one that I prefer. Now I have duplicate apps....same with the browser and Maps....and so on. You get duplicate apps in IOS too unless you just like the pre installed default ones.

I use most of those depicted apps, I was merely saying they can mostly be deleted, to save some small amount of space; and thus the "bloat" can be eradicated.
"Hyperole", he said. "Hyperbole", she said.
Its thanks to Android turning on the heat on Apple. Althouth I am glad he changed his mind about iPad on iOS 11.ios 11 update on iPhone is nothing compared to what the iPad got. Getting the 12.9 iPad later this month.
They aren't deleted. Apple only hides the icons and unlike Android if you encounter a related link to the app anywhere it wont redirect to the installed app and ask you to reinstall the stock apps
^^^^ THIS^^^^ try deleting Apple Maps and use Google Maps as your default app. Now ask Siri for directions......DOH!
