Comment on Nothing Phone builds a blue bubble iMessage bridge while Google and Apple fight over RCS
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months agoThose are two completely different lists. One is “the promoter group” and the other is “everyone involved” which are in no way equivalent. It’s like the opening credits on a movie, vs the closing credits. One of the two is inherently going to be more detailed.

That’s true, but if Apple was heavily invested at the time, you’d think they’d show up in the “opening credits” :p

Apple has been a member of the USB-IF (the group that creates USB specs) since at least 2009. loopinsight.com/…/palm-reports-apple-to-the-usb-i…

Really my point was just that Apple designed the lightning connector instead of working collaboratively toward a USBc-like standard
snowe@programming.dev 10 months ago
They did work collaboratively towards a standard. They just also in parallel worked on their own project, because they know standards can take an indefinite amount of time, so it could have been a decade to get USB C fleshed out, while they had already been working on Lightning in the background.
