As all our stuff is held in the cloud - which I dislike very much - less and less stuff we want to connect to our machine. A few years back it was so annoying when they started to get rid of optical drives, but now nobody misses it. Soon we wont give a rats ass about USB as well. Especially on laptops, because on a desktop you will still need it for a few peripherals. But on a laptop where everything is built in... My opinion is, that magsafe was awesome. I hate having everything in the cloud. And yes, these guys will do whatever they want. Because 98% of their customer base don't give a damn and even if they do, they will still buy it, because of brand loyalty and other reasons.

> Soon we wont give a rats ass about USB as well. The only times I see most people with MacBook Airs have an issue is when they swap files on thumbdrives or need to download photos. The average (non-techie) user still isn't tech-savvy enough for Dropbox, AirDrop, etc. to swap files. Then if they have a DSLR, they still need an SD card reader. (Surprising how often they don't even know what that is.) Even if they have an iPhone full of photos, getting them to their MacBook Air is beyond most users. Apple really should just blow out the amount of included space for iCloud photos and make sync easier.
