It's refreshing to see them actually listening to customer feedback, I don't think this ever would've happened in a Jobs/Ive world. Would they have released "pro" focused M1 chips/laptops? Absolutely. Would they have gone back on the (IMO) trainwreck that was touchbar and removing everything but 2x USB-C ports? No way.
ALSO, I'm actually kind of shocked they're supporting charging by both USB-C and magsafe. That is 100% the right thing to do and 100% the opposite of what Apple would normally do (namely lock you in to having to buy magsafe-3 and magsafe-3 only to charge the laptop).
- krrrh 5y agoObligatory reminder that Apple killed the miniDIN-8 and ADB ports on the original iMac before almost anyone had ever seen a USB cable in real life. They sold the notion of charging off your monitor cable pretty hard, there’s no way they could go back on that.
- leokennis 5y agoAnd to be honest, I use my laptop for home and office work. It’s very nice to be able to have to just (un)plug one cable and have everything (charging, 4K100 video, keyboard, mouse, webcam) working. If Apple would have killed charging via USB-C PD, it’d have been a big regression for me.
