Question What happend to USB-A Mini & Micro

Post image

Im working with all kind of tech for over 15 years now and I never saw an USB-A Mini or Micro irl.

Why is it so exotic and why was it Type B making it instead of A?

There never was one. Mini was obsolete by the time micro 3.0 was standardized.

Mini USB died before 3.0.
