My understanding is that the right angle MagSafe, which I also prefer, would not reliably release from the laptop if the cable was tripped over or yanked hard from behind the machine.
Apparently Apple values the self-release capability more important than the tidy 'tucked out of the way' right angle arrangement.
Interesting. It always released fine for me when I tripped over it, and I did it embarrassingly often.
I would prefer to have a choice, as I value tidy and out of the way more highly.
Yeah, well, Apple's never been known for offering a choice if they can herd people into a single design. Wish there was a third party option, at least.
