I looked up an external image of a Mini-A, and I don't think I've ever seen one in person before. Just Mini B and Micro B.
The Mini-A was a stupid design...And Type-C is just as stupid.

The put the cable retaining clip in the connector rather than on the cable. That way then the cable retaining clip doesn't grab well no more (inevitable on such cables), you're screwed. Whereas with say the micro-USB connector you can replace the cable to get it back to staying in...you're boned and have to replace the port itself on the device.
