Mini-USB seems to have given way to micro but this seems unfortunate.
Every micro USB connector I've seen is SMT while mini tends to be
through-hold.  That means micro connectors break off the PCB after
you've plugged/unplugged the cable enough times, probably the most
common cause of cell phone failures.  I used to fume against the variety
of incompatible power connectors on phones, but standardizing on micro
USB instead of something more rugged comes close to worsening the
problem.

I remember the original Adafruit Trinket board chose mini USB over micro
for this reason, though they eventually gave in and switched to micro.
