If it’s USB-C it’s not MagSafe-like. The USB-IF would have to implement some form of MagSafe-like solution, WHICH, given that they’re adopting a different naming standard for devices that carry power that’s separate from data, makes it more likely.
A LOT defined as more than 1000? Very likely, yes. A LOT defined as “a significant portion of the tech world”, no.
Yeah, the Apple Silicon chips are gonna bring us cool new devices like… the iMac… huh, which is essentially a slab of glass with perhaps some rounded corner treatment. Wait, AND A STAND! See?
Yeah, I think a lot of people don’t understand the enormous scale of “all that is not Mac”. Someone here actually posted that they felt most people used the iPads they purchased as a companion to their Mac. Which, I mean… iPad sales in a quarter eclipse Mac sales in a year. SOOOOooooo, either there’s a very few Mac folks buying ALLLL the iPads or MAYBE, just maaaaybe they’re NOT using them as companions to their Mac… that they don’t have.
No Macs sales are higher than iPads.

I’m sure you mean sales REVENUE. I’m talking about iPads being sold to customers, also called unit sales. There are more iPads being sold to people every day than Macs. There are even more iPads being sold than Dell is selling laptops and that’s been a thing for years now. So, yeah, that’s a huge number and all Macs counted together doesn’t come anywhere near that.No Macs sales are higher than iPads.
Apple made more money from Mac than ipad in Q3 2021.

I have some USB-C MagSafe adaptors, but
Always makes me "if-y" to use third party power cables. Even now with my old iPod (I still use), I had to buy another cable (worn out due to age) and did not want to risk getting a third party cheap cable to charge (though it would probably be ok since it is an old iPod).I have some USB-C MagSafe adaptors, but
- they're not designed for high power (needed for a laptop)
- they won't work for data (so you still need a dock)
- they have to be unplugged when you need to use the port for something else (or you lose one port)
- I'm a bit wary of plugging them into something expensive (I've seen some odd failures when using them that could be power related)
A proper MagSafe power adaptor would be nice. I'd personally rather have separate power and then 3-4 USBs (with a majority of As! 95% of my devices need A, and I've stopped plugging the rest in to the laptop).
Interesting story: I connected an AWatch charge cable to a hire car via USB C (hub plus A cable). The cable was faulty and caused the car's infotainment system to fail repeatedly, then shutdown completely (I still had basic driving capability, but I lost all navigation, fuel range etc). Obviously, the charger was shorting out internally (bare wires). I'd assumed the power supply would be protected, of course, or the hub would detect the overload! Luckily, I didn't cause a fire, and all started working again when I removed the cable. It makes me cautious with power
People spend a ridiculous amount of time on their phones, so I totally get it... especially if it's been a few years since you've upgraded, it makes a big difference
Android phones? You mean those phones with a skin from the device manufacturer that is annoying as hell, contains loads of full-screen-sized-advertising in the device manufacturers apps (looking at you, Huawei) or that gives two years of updates after the introduction date of the model and the releases it after 3-6 months (yes, you Samsung) therefore only giving 18 months of updates?
It is indeed, but after i got the 6s it took until the X before I updated. And then again until the 12 pro max.
As long as pros don’t need a monitor with an Apple logo, the choices for them are wide and varied.
