... more interesting to me is the new 12" MacBook. It's got exactly two ports: one headphone jack and one USB-C port (*). That's it. Nothing else.
... Apple is abandoning their brilliant MagSafe connector in return for squeezing the computer down to a single connector...
(*) I guess "USB-C" is now the official way of saying "USB 3.1, type C".
The next refresh of the MacBook Pro series will be interesting. MagSafe and multiple other ports still available?
USB-C, does that spec still have multiple power levels? Same C connector?
I have yet to go look for info on how big/compact the charger is for this new MacBook. Does the cable unplug from the charger?
How many chargers and unique cables must you take when you travel with iPhone, Apple Watch and the new MacBook?
Hmmm. The main adapter straddles the transition from 'standard' USB 3 A connector to USC-C.
Gonna be clumsy. Connecting an iPhone directly to the new machine will need an adapter to USB-C or a different Lightning cable.
