If you're looking for every last bit of juice out of a battery, inductive charging might not be the best way to get it. I'm sure Apple wants to strike a balance of convenience and enough power for most people without making it any bulkier than necessary.
Product-wise there was a rumor that Apple will be switching to more compact GaN chargers this year, so I wonder if that will come with the Macbook Pro redesign?

Anker and others have had these for a while, but one imagines the supply chain is trickier when you need to produce tens of millions of them.
- skohan 5y agoIt would be cool if they also applied this to the Macbook Air chargers. The tiny charger on the M1 Air makes it a pleasure to travel with, and an even smaller one would be incredible.
