>Apple actually invents something brilliant (magnetic power connector)
>decides to remove it for no reason whatsoever
>now companies are releasing YET MORE dongles to bring this functionality back
Can someone tell me:
1. Why did Apple remove their magnetic power connector?
2. Why the fuck Apple is removing all functionality from their new products?
inb4 Apple has invested in dongle companies
apple owns the dongle companies and wants you to pay more money
Apple lost sight of their customer base.
None of their users are professionals, their "professional grade" laptop is only slightly more useful than an ipad since it throttles itself hard when you do anything remotely useful on it.
They also jacked up the prices a good $400 and removed half the features just because they think they're invincible.
They effectively chased the poorfag market away who was buying college macbooks on a payment plan.
They're not even going to exist in 10 years.
>why did they remove magnet power connector
Because it's actually caused tons of housefires. Not even kidding.
Sounds like a snazzy idea until it starts picking up all sorts of tiny metal objects and then they make it inside and it starts a fire.
>Oh but this is such a good idea still because that's just the fault of the world existing so we have to clean it up and not exist so this power connector can work
>dongles
how is everyone acting like dongle is a good term? it has the word dong in it.
>Why
They're fucking jews, that's why.
Why you buy Apple?
Sauce my dude?
They were caused by inadequate strain relief. It had nothing to do with the magsafe power connector. Even my iBook G4's PSU had problems with this.
I'm a huge Macfag and I fucking HATE magsafe. It makes it impossible to use your laptop in bed.
>Can someone tell me:

>Being this autistic.
>They're not even going to exist in 10 years.
That's what people said in 1996. Then Steve Jobs came back. Resurrection when?
1. Magsafe was annoying when you moved around your laptop.
2. Do you mean useless ports? Because these are a waste of space for most people.
Apple, at this point, knows that the only other alternatives is either unstable annoying Windows 10 or intuitive Linux.
You can't seriously pretend to be that retarded, and still be beleived.
>headphone jack to listen to rap
>regular USB port to charge phone
>separate charging port to use all three devices at once
>"'"waste of space for most people"""
Sadly they didn't remove the headphone jack on their laptops. Replacing all the lightning/3.5/usb a/mag safe shit with usb c would be a great move.
As for phones, what the big deal? Why the fuck would you listen to music while charging it, it takes the entire comfy-ness factor away from it. Otherwise you can use it just as before.
Good point actually. Do MS and Google got secret deals with Apple to cripple their products and force non poorfags to buy Applel stuff?
Not true, I've done the successfully for years.
Half of what you wrote is bullshit and I'm not even an applefag.
So they can re-release the same functionality in 5 years time under the guise of "innovation"
That's what makes it great.
>using your laptop in bed
what kind of autist can't handle this? are you constantly rolling around as if you're having an autistic seizure? are you fucking FAT? it's fine
No, it had to do the magnetic connector getting poor connection over time because it's not a friction fit that forces the connector to get as much contact as possible. Lower contact surface area = higher resistance = heat. It's like using 16 gauge wire for a circuit that delivers 30A
>friction fit that forces the connector to get as much contact as possible
friction has nothing to do with surface area you retard. also the pins on mag safe connectors are spring loaded.
>Apple
>invents
>magnetic power connector
No.
I'm currently using 2 laptops at once in bed. Watching YouTube on my X230 and browsing on my X61t
I also got a tablet holder and my Nexus 7 is playing live news because I want to see Florida get rekt.
>not running a wireless keyboard from your pc to your bed and using a projector to shitpost on your entire ceiling.
>intuitive linux
Damn that computer is a e s t h e t i c. Would buy if I had the money, tbqh.
>It makes it impossible to use your laptop in bed.
That's literally bullshit. I hate Apple as much as the next vir/g/in but my employer makes me use a rMBP and I use the damn thing in my bed all the time.
>tfw jacking to bbw porn on my company's laptop
>They effectively chased the poorfag market away who was buying college macbooks on a payment plan.
Shit, I did not know shit was this bad.
>>Apple actually invents something brilliant (magnetic power connector)
They didn't invent it
Thats been on japanese appliances for the last 30 years
How much time do you spend in bed with your computer? Because the implication is that you're lying in bed awake for longer than a MacBook can hold a charge. Shit battery aside, you shouldn't spend so much time in bed unless you're sleeping, sick, or Fucking; anything else is unhealthy.
microsoft gave them the money to do that.
actually they are not
Actually they are not
USBc is the future brah
Using a laptop in bed is the only reason to even own a laptop.
People are using their laptops as desktops, what a bunch of retards.
>Apple actually invents something brilliant (magnetic power connector)
They never invented that, you retarded goy.
Some use it for
M O B I L I T Y
some people go outside you know LOL too bad you wouldnt know that since ur a fat weeb shutin.. sorry bud thats just the scorps
Was that even English? Do you go outside and beat your head against bricks?
Christ almighty, has school started for you yet?
wild on me boy i fuck wit ye wonga
Because the magnetic version doesn't break as much as one that uses friction to hold it in. If it doesn't break constantly people won't need to buy more? remember the old iphone/ipad connectors?
>They're not even going to exist in 10 years.
You're not very smart, are you? MacBook Pro sales are up YoY despite the horrible design fuckup of the 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro. They're the most valuable company in history, they're not going anywhere anytime soon.
but hurdur muh used thinkpads muh normies are dumb t-that's why they buy them right it can't be that i'm an out of touch loser ranting on the internet about how everything normal and good is bad and wrong :'(
They didn't invent shit. Japanese water heaters had this"technology"(not really advanced desu) for ages. That's why Apple couldn't patent the shit out of it and why companies can make dongles for magnetic connectors without paying to applel. I bought a magnetic charger for my Android phone for 5 bucks. Meanwhile lightning chargers are 15$ at a discount in my country because they think different and patent everything.
Thank God for Japanese water heaters.
most people are moving away from laptops and sadly apple killed most of its pro software advantage a long time ago.
They could try to get it back, but its an uphill battle now.
I have a deep fryer that is around 20 years old that has magnetic power connectors.
thank god for retarded thing that need to be unplugged on a moment's notice.
the magnetic charger had an issue where if it seated wrong it could fry the components. Taking it out of there leave less liability on them.
>actually invents something brilliant (magnetic power connector)
Nah, they stole that from asian kettles.
Solidly dicking here, I agree dongle is a terrible term but the reason is because it sounds ugly not because of dongs.
>8k
NO WAY
How does that make it bad?
Kill yourself you fucking shit stain.
i like that theyre actually pushing for single ports. usb c for laptops is a great thing. i slightly wish it was just usb a instead though because its more robust.
the fuck why, it just means the laptop becomes clunky as shit with all the dongles
as an intermittant stage. then everything else starts supporting usb and dongles become useless. display over usb, usb headphones, usb charging. once everythings usb were g. its in that regard why i see they use usb c though
usb c for audio is supposedly consumer unfriendly since they can implement drm unlike on a headphone jack
Magsafe stayed connected while moving around, you had to suddenly jank it to accidentally pull it out (exactly like it was designed and used for chinese ricecookers before apple copied the idea). And the ports where used by people working with their laptops, thankyouverymuch.
same can be said about usb a too. i suppose its the same as how hdmi can support drm. i still hate how flimsy 3.5inch jacks are
How do you know they aren't monitoring your traffic in some way?
Magsafe had advatnages sure but could also be annoying. It say its a tie between magsafe and the new one all in all. However as you said you CAN convert a usb to a magsafe with a dongle, you couldnt do magsafe to usb of course so i think it might be an achievement
>apple invents
>invents
Apple didn't invent magnetic induction you fucking imbecile.
>Apple actually invents something brilliant (magnetic power connector)
Apple did not invent a magnetic power connector, they just patented their own design.
Holy shit Sup Forums.
Source.
The "poor" connection was more than enough for the power it handled.
Apple didn't invent anything, they steal good ideas and patent them.
They realised that the connection is for the poor and decided to drop it because Apple is a PREMIUM EXPERIENCE.
>magnetic induction
you either don't know what that is or you don't know how the magsafe connector works.
It's just a normal power connector thats held in place with a magnet instead of friction.
>bbw
He is safe.
