Magsafe, this was full of innovation and wisdom, valuable inventions and finally to an end. Apple's new MacBook, it is a bit less elegant and intelligent charging head USB-C joints replaced. GUCCI iPad Case
Ever since since its release in 2006, MagSafe is to make one of the power transfer from PC to Mac, because it captures the real needs of the people: when you spend $ 2000 after buying a laptop, some day it is available in the wall charging, if accidentally the cord, this expensive laptop is likely to fall to the ground and broke.
Nobody wants to encounter this kind of thing, and MagSafe was born to solve this problem. In the "crackling" sound, magnetic MagSafe charging head firmly connected to the MacBook. But that is not properly secured, then if someone pulls the cord, it will fracture and notebook and separate the wires.
When people use MagSafe later on, it is hard to imagine how "physically" anything to plug in a laptop. After this experience, it seems that no one will want to go back to the old notebook. However, Apple has its own products to this end. Apple's patent is like a hell, makes it impossible for other manufacturers producing similar products, otherwise they will be sued. If the magnetic sensors cable can be in any direction for the objects connected to and disconnected, without damaging it, it would be a violation of Apple's patents. Even Microsoft's Surface, are also being used more adhesive, and less effective connectors. A step further to say that it even prevents the headset connected to the manufacturers of magnetic induction. GUCCI iPad Case
That doesn't mean the MagSafe is perfect. Early products was a t-shaped design, can wear and cause overheating, also led to a lawsuit in 2009, improved product to fully cover interface. By 2012, Apple has finally released a product that will solve this problem.
However yesterday's MacBook announcement, Apple unveiled a thinner product, which meant no place to plug MagSafe on the notebook. But the good news is: the new USB-C connector technology is open, other companies can charge production and use of USB-C, not just Apple.
MagSafe loyalists by this rumor may be comforted: MagSafe can be preserved in the form of wall outlet.
But this is the end of an era, in the future, Apple laptop MagSafe switched to the USB-C, I'm afraid. Maybe when Apple any day when you are no longer using MagSafe, they will ultimately let other companies use the magnetic force for innovation.
