Apple got a ton of flak for adopting USB-C way before anyone else, which is the opposite of proprietary.

I also don't see how "being cracked by the FBI" makes one evil, in fact I think resisting the FBI in the first place makes them good.

Why are people downvoting your comment here? You are 100% correct. Apple also made significant contributions to the development of USB-C and have the best implementation of USB-C with Thunderbolt 3 in their products bar none.

Yes, the iPhone still ships with Lightning connectors. But Lightning was revolutionary in a world full of phenomenally shitty Micro-USB connectors. It's really not a big deal, and Apple will move to USB-C for sure eventually.

Right completely ignore what Google did for USB-C ? And what one google engineer Benson Leung did for USB-C cables ?

Why the need for such a petulant and childish response? Did I say that Google and Benson didn't contribute to USB-C? No. Neither did I phrase it as if Apple was the only contributor.

So what's with the defensiveness?
