So they should have been active in defining the successor USB standard.

  ... like how they had an active role in USB C?

    Did they? As far as I can tell USB-C was mainly invented by Intel and TI.

      Isn't USB-C basically Thunderbolt? Which was made by Apple

          Original Thunderbolt was by Intel, then Apple came up with how to use it with MiniDP connector. There definitely was more collaboration, but as a simple overview this works. In 2019 Intel donated the spec royalty free to USB-IF

      Yes. Apple engineers played a significant role in developing USB-C. Of the 79 engineers who worked on the original spec, 18 of them were from Apple. Intel had 24, JAE had 21, TI had 12 https://www.docdroid.net/uf3z/typec-pdf https://www.docdroid.net/uf3z/typec-pdf

  They did. It's called Thunderbolt. Then they were literally the first to go all in on USB-C in their laptops. And the world (well, HN) loudly complained every single time.

    Thunderbolt isn't an open standard.
    • dmitriid 4y ago
      Define "open". Thunderbolt 3 spec was released to USB-IF in 2019 as a royalty-free standard.
