I wonder if the "MagSafe" they are talking about is the new magsafe wireless charging on the iphone 12?
It would be nice to be able to have a charging pad for my laptop rather than needing to mess with wires at all.
Speculation time! I wonder if they will be able to put a magsafe wireless charging spot both under the laptop, and on top next to the trackpad! They could let you charge your iphone from your laptop, and charge the laptop via some fancy new magsafe pad.
In fact I wonder if this could include some of the "air power" tech that was reportedly cut a while back?

Apple patented that idea just recently: https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/5/22215413/apple-patent-device-wireless-charging-iphone-macbook https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/5/22215413/apple-patent-devi...
- duluca 6y agoThis would be amazing, when traveling becomes a thing again. It sucks to maintain so many charging devices in a hotel room
- nrp 6y agoApple patents are an evergreen topic for tech journalists, but Apple never announces features or products through patent filings. If you're seeing a public filing for a patent from Apple on a thing that they aren't currently shipping, that means it's something they have no plans to ship.
- leetcrew 6y agoif so, I will be very interested to see how they manage the thermals. wireless charging for a laptop will dump a lot more waste heat into the chassis than it does for a phone.
- Brendinooo 6y agoThe Apple Pencil 2 and Magic Keyboard case attach to an iPad extremely well. Wouldn't be hard to imagine the new MagSafe being somewhere in the same spot as before but not having any kind of "port" that juts out or in.
