Weeeeelllll that was mainstream a long long time before they adopted it. And I'm still annoyed that the only devices with Lightning in our house are my Airpods en iPhone mini 12 and wife's iPhone 14 Pro.

Always need to attach an adapter to my Anker chargers and powerbanks.

    I think the person you’re replying to meant MacBooks. They were USB-C exclusively way before Windows machines.

      It's funny, I was mad at them for getting rid of magsafe for years, and super excited when they brought it back with the AS macs. Used the cable for a year or two and then decided to simplify my life but just using USB C for everything.

      I hope they can forgive me for doubting their benevolent wisdom, I promise never to do it again.

        Same… I love MagSafe and would prefer to use it. I’m always worried about yanking the computer with the USB-C charger in and breaking the cable or the port.

        But I have a bunch of USB-C stuff and so when I go to charge my laptop it’s just easier to find that cable and use it.

          There are many magnetic USB C plugs. I am not sure if they are standard compliant but they work fine.

        Fist use of a Macbook Pro and in a sleep addled state I plugged the MagSafe cable into the Mac USB-C end first.

        It’s very confusing if you do that and are an idiot.

      Ah ok, yeah sure, that was nice (could have added an A and HDMI port in this case, but ok, they were early with that.)
