Completely agree. I need to replace my macbook air, but am seriously stumped: no more 12 hr battery, no more magsafe, a much higher price, and can't even stay on the MBA because the 16GB I was hoping for did not appear on the MBA.
Really. Don't know what to do now. I can't switch to Windows, don't want to go back to Linux. I feel like Apple has left me.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoI'm buying 1-2 refurbished current gen Macbook Pros, and just hoping those and my current one will last me the next decade or so (its all solid state, so hopefully it will).
- frou_dh 10y agoI usually regret stockpiling hardware. When the time arrives to crack out a spare, the market/situation has likely changed again and that golden SKU is no longer the worldbeater it once seemed. I think Steve Gibson (SpinRite guy) mentioned that he has a freezer drawer full of Palm Pilot PDAs, that seemed a good idea at the time.
- khattam 10y agoJust buy an old one after your current one breaks if you love Magsafe so much. I'm sure many will be willing to sell their old 2015 Macbook pros when one with wireless charging comes out in 2023.
- toomuchtodo 10y ago* MagSafe * USB * Not needing a $25 adapter just to charge my iPhone * Thunderbolt for my two Thunderbolt displays Hopefully the used supply of MBP will stay deep for years.
- daughart 10y agoYou don't need a $25 adaptor, just a $25 cable! http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0X2AM/A/usb-c-to-lightning-cable-1-m?fnode=97&fs=f%3Dcable%26fh%3D458e%252B45c4 http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0X2AM/A/usb-c-to-lightni... Seriously though the next iPhone/iPad will surely going to use USB-C also and ditch Lightning, which will dramatically simplify the connector situation going on at Apple.
- gambiting 10y agoIf they were going to do that, then iphone 7 would have released with USB-C. At the moment I guess they don't want to break compatibility with every iPhone accessory on the market - but then again, they were never a company that cared about breaking standards, so I have no idea why the hesitation now.
