No shit. It’s bizarre that I can’t use my headphones and charge at the same time. It’s bizarre that I have to carry around an adapter (or two sets of headphones) when I work because my MacBook and iPhone have different headphone jacks. I’m generally happy with Apple’s products, but this choice leaves me baffled.
- sinstein 8y agoYes yes yes. The removal of the headphone jack was a decision I could have lived with, but this, that the same set of accessories cannot be used with all their products is just such an irritant. I have no idea what they are trying to accomplish with such inconsistent design choices. The absolute kicker: You cannot charge Apple's flagship smartphone with Apple's flagship laptop without an adapter that does not come bundled with either of the two!
- mustacheemperor 8y agoI’m disappointed we got the touchbar instead of an integrated wireless charging component in the MacBook Pro. If it’s technically feasible, it’d be so convenient to charge my phone by putting it on top of my laptop.
- a11595 8y agojust get a usb charging mat and plug it into your laptop. then take a look at how big it is. then add that size to your laptop. then ask yourself if this 15% bigger laptop is something all the other people want, or would they rather have more battery/cpu/ram for that 15% of space. They probably won't. But they don't want the wireless charger in that space either. They want the smaller laptop.
