That's true. I forgot they brought Magsafe back. (Side note: I don't know why they couldn't just make a standard USB-C connector, except magnetic...)

- ctippett 3y agoSome of the new MacBooks require a charging port capable of greater than the current USB-C specification limit of 100W, that's likely one reason why they decided against coopting USB-C exclusively for charging.
- throwaway2037 3y agoAbout your side note: That seems physically impossible. Magsafe only has five pins, and is larger than USB-C, which has twenty-four pins. To me, USB-C is a modern miracle. It is so small, reasonably strong, reversible, and has very high pin density.
