Undoubtedly the subject of patents is recurrent in the Apple world and in this case we have a patent that may be interesting for Mac users, since it talks about the possibility that the abandoned MagSafe connector will return in the form of a magnetic USB C adapter. And it is that Apple launched the new 12-inch MacBook and 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch bar and without it with USB C ports, something that we really appreciate and hope will be standardized even on iPhone and iPad in the near future, but there are many of us the users who we would like the MagSafe connector to join the USB C And with this new patent registered by Apple, hope grows.
Logically we are facing a patent and like all Apple patents, it may or may not come to fruition, but this has to be the one that arrives because the MagSafe is undoubtedly one of the best connectors that exist for Mac users, protecting the equipment before a possible fall even if we pull the cable thanks to the magnetized connector to power the equipment. In this case, USB C does not have this possibility And if we stumble with the Mac cable while it is connected, it is most likely that it ends up on the ground.
In this case, the patent talks about a new adapter similar to the one on sale to convert MagSafe to MagSafe 2, with which users couldn charge Macs with old Magsafe chargers always keeping in mind the voltage of the charger itself and with which we would not have problems in the case of crossing the Mac charging cable. Today there are some adapters in unofficial stores and there is even one from Griffin I think I remember, but from here recommend that if they do not have the official Apple certification, it is best not to use them to avoid problems.
