Most... moreI think here you mean usb micro b (commonly referred to as micro usb in general), because no way you can fit USB B on a phone. And old devices with Intel 3rd gen to 5th gen aren't modern by any means. And the new stuff you bough might be new in the sense it's not unboxed but it might be designed and manufactured half a decade back. Mostly old rebranded phones today come with micro usb. Any midrange phone ($150 and above) comes with USB C, if the brand is reputable. Still, cheap electronics still come with micro usb, whether it's the speakers or lamps.

      It is time to say goodbye to these things. Micro USB. 32 bit processors. DDR3 or lower ram. HD screens. Feature phones. FM radio. Just keep wired earphones and micro SD cards for people who always complain about their removal.

        PleaseNo, 30 Jun 2022I read that even electronic device price, whether for smart... moreYes. Most entry-level smartphones here in Brazil costs more than a decent midrange phone. Pro/Plus/Ultra phones are simply impossible to afford by common people. Xiaomi 12 here costs R$9500 BRL ($1800 dollars / 1734 euros). Current minimum wage here is R$1212,00 BRL ($231 dollars / 221 euros), so you can get the idea of how other electronic devices are expensive here, even outdated ones.

                > Interestingly, the plan is to make USB-C mandatory only for phones that support wired charging, leaving a door open for phones that charge only over wireless.

                            Meanwhile, everybody in the stands is crying of joy and applauding the person on the stage. "Yes, yes, we love you Apple. We don't need to do any thinking at all, because you will do the thinking for us".

                                      salarx, 29 Jun 2022which modern device and pc still comes with usb b?Audio interfaces and devices used in music production. Most of the stuff I bought new or second hand (but still up to date) still use USB-B. Deviced with USB-C are only used on "pro" (speaking in a more smartphone language) devices. Brazil still has a big stock of PCs and notebooks with old chipsets (Intel I3 and I5 from 3rd to 5th generation), tablets, printers, etc.. with old the USB port.
