dunno why you’re downvoted, you’re completely correct.

BUT

Apple is the only one charging eye-watering prices for the privilege. Yeah, there is that lol.

Apple blazed the trail though, really pushed the idea that saving a millimeter by going to glued/soldered on components is a good idea

It’s funny (or sad I guess) that the current generation of laptops are back on mag chargers (I forget what they’re called) instead of USB C. There was never a time when both iPhones and MacBooks used USB C charging.

I don’t have one, but I thought the user could either do magsafe or a usb-c to a laptop, either way will charge.
