Well Apple has a problem on hand with the USB C port on the new macbooks. I think they want to use it for power for everything because it kinda makes sense.
They havent figured out the solution. The one thing with the macbook is, the idea is you dont have to charge it all the time, you use it on the go not as a "desktop". But thats most of the time maybe not the reality. Many want to sit down with it plugged in.
The solution? Put the magsafe connector on the other end! Put the magnetic connector on the charger brick. If somebody trips over your cable, it should pop off the charger part. This solves a couple things:
- The macbook side has a secure connection for data (doesnt get yanked out)
- the charger side most of the time if the cable lies in a situation where it can be pulled off, the charger with the cable might be most of the time not be hanging behind a desk where the charger part is stuck somewhere where you would pull more the macbook side
- the brick only has to provide power, no data where its same situation like now if it gets pulled off, no data connection is lost
- a con would be, you might not know its not charging anymore if you dont look for the icon and you cant see if its disconnected from the brick
