    USB port is invariably at the center of the bottom side, there’s no industry standard but it’s a popular convention. Which means it’s inconvenient to hold a charging phone with either right or left hand.

    This I actually don’t agree with. I don’t often charge my phone when i also need it (usually I’m sleeping when it charges), but on the rare occasion that i do, it’s not in the way and I can’t really see why it would be? How are you holding your phone since it’s inconvenient? Standing in your palm??

      Not standing on my palm exactly, but the plug is definitely pushing into it.

      And forget about playing games in landscape orientation, the USB cable is totally in the way, while it’s manageable with headphone cable.
