And then of course you had to buy an entire new proprietary charger from Apple, not just a 3rd party cable. Or even take the laptop to Apple to replace the laptop's magsafe connector.
- amomchilov 2y agoThe burning problem was a SNAFU on the first-gen “T-shaped” connectors. They redesigned gen 1 into an “L-shape”, which fixed it. The cable rubber was always remarkably shit, even with really delicate handling. Lucky now it’s a braided cable, and holding up well so far. Time will tell Lastly, they thankfully made the cable modular, with a USB connection to the brick. Sometimes I use it with a USB-C to C cable, so I can use it with my phone.
