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

And many post before that. But was too late, by that time the words were spread on internet like wildfire. Especially in Apple focused publishing sites.

I cant find the exact one, but he at the time was suggesting AirPods was sold at cost. Along with plenty of American so called "analyst".
He might have his network within Apple on software. But anything that has to do with Hardware or things like MFi Licensing scheme he is completely wrong.
according to this Apple is listed as one of the contributors:

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.
