People want wireless charging, that isn't changing. MagSafe is a more efficient version of that compared to basic Qi charging like every other device offers because the magnets ensure perfect alignment.
- layer8 4y agoPeople want a lot of things. I doubt that Apple would have lost significant market share for not providing wireless charging.
- somehnguy 4y agoMy thought here is that the same people complaining about wireless charging efficiency would be the ones complaining if Apple didn't offer it. Can't win. They offer a more efficient version of a feature everyone wants. Complain that everyone else is doing it worse.
- layer8 4y agoIf they “can’t win” anyway, they might as well have chosen the more environmentally-friendly option. The criticism is that they didn’t.
- somehnguy 4y agoI disagree. There is always something to criticize, and some people will always want to do it. Might as well have a nice feature.
- layer8 4y agoThe point isn’t about avoiding criticism. The point is that Apple proclaims that they care about eco-friendliness and then introduces features that are the opposite. “Might as well have a nice feature” translates to “might as well be eco-unfriendly”.
- somehnguy 4y agoYour arguments natural progression results in 'why make anything, it is not eco-friendly', which is silly. Compromises are always made, and there are way bigger fish to fry. To me it seems like criticism just to criticize.
