Not to denigrate their work, but this happened very very late in the type-C game.
(Look at who attended what meetings, and where it was proposed, how far it was along when it was proposed, and then when apple started showing up. It looks like they saw the writing on the wall, and joined in to make sure they weren't going to get left behind)
- melling 12y agoProbably realized that they needed to go with USB-C because of cars, European regulations, etc. Finally, everyone is using one connector. PC, Mac, Android, and iOS?
- gress 12y agoActually you are just denigrating their work with innuendo.
- DannyBee 12y agoActually, i have real facts, but i can't state them here, so i'm pointing you at enough data to draw your own conclusions. But sure, if you'd rather just believe whatever you like, you are welcome to :)
- gress 12y agoI'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying that you are deceiving yourself if you think you aren't denigrating them. That is clearly your intention, and you think the facts bear you out. Why not just be honest about it?
- MrScruff 12y agoYour comments are somewhat contradicted by the discussion on Daring Fireball. Which one of you is wrong? http://daringfireball.net/linked/2015/03/14/apple-usbc http://daringfireball.net/linked/2015/03/14/apple-usbc
- madeofpalk 12y agoAnother view is that there was a moment when they saw/realised what USB-C could do for Apple and a radically new laptop, and then became a lot more invested then.
