> Additional technical specifications and details on Apple accessories — including the 30W USB-C Power Adapter for $39 (US), 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter for $59 (US), 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter for $59 (US) compatible with the World Travel Adapter Kit for $29 (US), and the 67W USB-C Power Adapter for $59 (US) — are available at apple.com/mac. The 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter is available to customers in Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and the US. Anyone have any idea why one would want a dual usb C power adapter when MagSafe is an option?

The dual power adapter is in addition to, rather than instead of, MagSafe. The cable has the magnetic connector on one end and usb-c on the other. Dual ports just lets you charge your iPhone/iPad etc. at the same time.

  I can't see the value in getting the 2-port adapter over the 67w fast charge one. You could always charge your phone through your laptop if you really don't have a second power brick.

    Size. It's not apparent in pictures but the 67w is the size of like a deck of playing cards. The dual port is a tiny Gan charger.

Interoperability with every other hardware? Magsafe is only macbook, usb-c is non-Apple laptops, mobile phones, hearing aids, wireless headphones, etc. And a large, ready to orther set of adapters to other standars. Magsafe doesn't have that yet, and judging from Magsafe 2, it almost won't have any.

I kind of liked having everything run through usb c, including power. Charging from either side was nice, and being able to charge literally everything I own with a single charger was great.

  Magsafe is not a 'this or that'. The other end of the magsafe cable is type C with a standard type C power adaptor. You can bring a Type C cable instead and it works just fine.
