@gruber maybe the Powerbrick/Hub end of the cable could be MagSafe, with USB Type-C to the Computer?

@gruber Think original Xbox controller break away cable. Just MagSafe instead.

@chartier @drbarnard @gruber Couldn't the MagSafe plug into a (small) dock?

@gruber The watch will use magnetically-attached induction charging. Maybe that's what will replace MagSafe? Doesn't need a visible port...

@gruber What if it's MagSafe into the USB "hub" that plugs into the laptop? Still trip-proof, just be few inches away

@gruber Why would the new Air need magsafe if iPads don’t? In other words, a computer you only charge at night doesn’t need a dedicated port

Alex Gordon@alexggordon

@gruber I think most obvious solution was skipped regarding the magsafe removal. Why not an Apple Watch style magsafe adapter on the MBAir?

@gruber @AbbiV What if MagSafe and other expansion ports moved to the power supply brick?

Tom W Browning@TomWB

@mattgemmell @gruber But if the battery life is >10 hours charging becomes an over night activity. You work unplugged. No MagSafe on iPads.

@gruber What if they move the MagSafe to the chargers port? Keeps the single USB Port and you could put a hub inside  http://gozolt.com

@gruber Maybe the new Airs will have such great battery life you only need to charge them overnight? Like an iPad that also lacks MagSafe.

@gruber @AbbiV the new mba stealth will have a MagSafe adapter a la the apple watch that will stick to the exterior case instead of a jack.

@gruber @AbbiV as MacBooks reach all day battery I can totally see MagSafe going away (if there's another good reason). No MagSafe on iPad

@gruber I use my MBP & 2 x Windows laptops every day for work. I’d kill me ditching magsafe. One of Apple’s best features.

Peter Petrovski@ppetrovski

@gruber So you wouldn't need to be using it while it's plugged in, therefore the need for magsafe decreases.

Peter Petrovski@ppetrovski

@gruber On magsafe: If the battery life in this thing is extra long, Apple might be positioning it like an iOS device. Overnight charging.

@gruber Apple could keep "MagSafe" by putting the magnet somewhere else in the cable, but the cable would wind up in two pieces in your bag.

@daringfireball @gruber I imagine that the USB C port would connect to a dongle with MagSafe built in as well as other expansion ports

@gruber what if Apple isn't ditching MagSafe, but this single USB port and the power adapter still use MagSafe tech?

@gruber "FireWire, Thunderbolt, Lightning, and MagSafe. Let's throw all those out and go with USB." That sounds exactly like Apple...
