Intel is in charge of certifying device to USB and ThunderBolt standards -- anything that is not certified that dares to carry those labels will get sued out of existence.

The difference between ThunderBolt-3 and ThunderBolt-4 is a minor tweak on the USB portion of the interface. For 'regular folks', the difference is negligible.

The term Hub is ambiguous in this context.

What do you want a Hub to accomplish for you?

If you mean a device that can convert ThunderBolt and USB-3 ports to other kinds of ports, Apple has mostly left those devices for aftermarket sellers, so you will not see genuine Apple devices in the Apple Online Store.

Than you so much for taking the time to answer my question

You wrote "If you mean a device that can convert ThunderBolt and USB-3 ports to other kinds of ports, Apple has mostly left those devices for aftermarket sellers, so you will not see genuine Apple devices in the Apple Online Store". Yes i meant that kind of hub. What I was trying to clarify is if there's a certified aftermarket thunderbolt 4 hub for the new MacBook Pro? The best one i found is an OWC brand but is just thunderbolt 3

Thanks in advance and sorry for my English; i'm still learning

Have a Productive and Healthy Day! :)
