> All through that fiasco, where Apple was going through all sorts of twists and turns to avoid switching to USB-C

Is there any evidence that "Apple was going through all sorts of twists and turns to avoid switching to USB-C"?

Apple worked to create the USB-C standard, was among the first to widely deploy it.

Apple fighting against a precedent where the EU would force them to switch everything to USB-C is strictly different from Apple going through all sorts of twists and turns to avoid switching to USB-C.

And that is exactly Gruber's take. Apple created USB-C standard and gave it to the USB committee for free.

And it is not even half true. But it spread across the internet as if it was verified.

The other one being Apple AirPod sold at cost, and suggest Apple invented big.SMALL CPU core.

    I haven’t heard anyone make any of those claims in the way you’ve made them.

    Conversely, the inference you leave readers with from your description of Apple’s contribution to USB-C and CPU design is just as untrue.

      Not my description. Or you mean Gruber's description of Apple's contribution.

      His post on USB-C, CPU Design and AirPod is still Up on his site.

      Those who actually worked on USB-C before it was even known also posted on HN.

    Of course you could actually try to link to some context on this.

    Apple certainly didn't create USB-C, but was one of the biggest contributors.
