One of Apple's Best Ideas Ever -- Made Worse
- Zenst 14y agoArticle raises a very fair point and I can apprecieate the frustration of how a company like Apple could step backwards on a design issue like this. Can almost imagine a fly landing on it and disconecting your power cord; Which would make for a funny video on youtube if anything. The new connector does seem to look like a iPhone/iPad/iPod )iP[hao][do][n ][e ]) dock connector from the picture, at least from a physical appearance casing wise. Do wonder if a similiar type of connector will be used on the new iP toys that Apple are making and if this connector is more suited to a smaller device. Still, be interested how this progresses and expect lots of wonderful non-duct tape approaches. Also do wonder if this is a faulty batch of connectors that have weak magnets due to shipping/handerling in production as we all know a magnet that is hit does tend to lose its strength and in that if this is the case. Time will tell.
