How to cope with MagSafe "withdrawal"?
I've relied upon my MagSafe connection to keep my laptop safe for almost a decade. I got a new MacBook Air and felt funny putting in the USB power cord, but didn't realize just why I felt funny until I tried to remove it by lifting it up instead of pulling it out.
OMG the MagSafe is gone!
I will have to work on trying to remember this every waking moment of every day; routing cords more carefully and keeping an eye on them so they don't get pulled by others or myself, etc.
Is there any published advice on safe behavioral changes that MagSafe addicts like myself can learn? Are there any special aftermarket connectors, magnetic or otherwise, that I can put in the power connection that will disconnect safely when pulled? If so, are there any special features or problems I should look for before choosing one?
Apple is ready to take your money again for MagSafe and portables.
- USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable (2 m)
Apple solution is far better than the aftermarket ones I’ve seen in the 20 to 50 range from Amazon for devices expecting USB-C power delivery.
