Apple only implemented USB-C due to pressure from the EU.

One area Android has a clear advantage is Android TV devices verified by Google, because there is a much wider array of streaming apps of all kinds available. However google doesn’t seem to focus on this very much, and if you look for forum recommendations for google android streaming devices it’s very often the NVIDIA shield pro from 2019. Hopefully that device will I’ll be supported for a few more years because there seems to not be good easily available alternatives.

The killer apps that gave Android an advantage on TV are now mostly available on tvOS. To me, these were VLC and RetroArch.

Apple was among the first to implement USB-C in early 2015. A whole year before Samsung and the likes.

But not on mobile. First iPhone with USB-C was iPhone 15 released late 2023. The Google Nexus 6P phone had USB-C in 2015, 8 years earlier.
