There are claims that MICRO-USB has better reliability, with many more 
insertion cycles than MINI-USB.

But, MICRO has more of a symmetry problem than MINI.  In poor light, it is 
easier to get MINI right-side-up than MICRO.
THAT is apparently why USB-C was developed.   it is symmetrical.
Apple has shown with "LIGHTNING", single button mouse, etc.,  that it is 
always safer to under-estimate the intelligence and abilities of your 
users.
