"Years" is overstating it a bit; Vulkan's SDK came out a little more than a year and a half after Metal was available on iOS and 8 months after it was available on Macs.

Ahh you're right, I thought it was 2017 for the Vulkan 1.0 release.

My understanding is still that Metal was released on iOS months before AMD's Mantle API was accepted as the start of Vulkan work.
