Or better yet, a 3.5mm plug, USB, and Bluetooth. No matter what happens with the 3.5mm plug, USB and Bluetooth aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Might as well toss them all in to make sure it's actually future-proofed.


USB-A, USB-B or USB-C?


It honestly does not matter, since they're compatible. You're trying to make it controversial, but it's really not. My phone uses Lightning, but that doesn't make a bit of difference when I plug it into my car.


Well, they’re not entirely. I recently bought a Nexus 5X, and realised I don’t have a single compatible cable – and had to buy some adapters.

Not everyone will have adapters easily available, nor will people want to deal with them.


Your phone didn't come with a USB-C to USB-A cable? I find that hard to believe.


The 5X only comes with a C-C cable. The 6P comes with both an A-C and a C-C cable.


Wow, that's a huge mistake. Especially considering how rare USB-C was in 2015.
