I think Apple could’ve avoided a lot of the hate if they’d bundled a few of the more common adapters as standard, to ease people through the transition to using USB-C for everything.
If I bought a new MBP today, I’d need:
* a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter at £49
* a USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter (giving HDMI and a USB
port) at £69
* a USB-C to USB Adapter at £19
That’s £137 just to connect the things I have currently connected to my 2015 MBP (external monitor, Thunderbolt HD, my phone and a USB->FTDI programmer).
- ageektrapped 10y agoCouldn't agree more. I priced Macbook Pro 15" plus adapters in CDN $ and got sticker shock.
- akramhussein 10y agoDid the same in UK. They also bumped the prices in the UK for all machines due to the fall in GBP. Double shock.
