I do not really have a body for this. I was not aware that this is a thing and still feel like this is bs, but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum’s decision that I am missing.

    The renaming while still selling it with older packaging for years has been angering me since it happend.

    Honestly it would not be so much of a problem if things where actually labeled appropriately with all the actual specs and support features on the package but its more profitable to keep you guessing (and going for the higher priced one just in case)

    They do the same thing with Bluetooth audio transmission usb, their “high quality audio” and “ps5 compatible” but does not tell me wether it supports aptx or not?

    Also the whole “buy a product clearly pictured with usb A type connector, receive a usb C type connector variant, if lucky, with an added adapter.

      Yeah, “3.0” and “3.2 Gen 1” mean the same thing. Same with “3.1” and “3.2 Gen 2x1”. I’ve bought computer cases in 2025 with the front IO labeled “3.0”.

      How are normal people supposed to keep track of this?
