Magsafe it's pretty cool tho. Plus they open sourced it so next Qi standard is probably gonna have it. I don't know what I'm talking about btw.
We are not speaking about the same magsafe. EU requires in the near future USB-C for laptops too. Apple must include USB-C by default and ditching the magsafe.
My laptop can already charge over USB-C from my docking station, or with a MagSafe cable. It’s an older M1 laptop but that ought to cover any such requirement
It's the single charger regulation. In the EU, Apple must use USB-C instead of magsafe for the laptops. It's the same as for smartphones.
No. Magsafe and usb c can both be present.
