I remember when usb c first came out and Apple went all in on their laptops and everyone was pissed about that. So much complaining about adapter dongles. So pissed that apple had to bring back the MagSafe connector instead of straight usb c for charging.

MagSafe charging is much better than usb-c though. Saved my laptop several times already.

Then again, I personally wish they remove all ports on Mac and iPhone.

Wireless charging, data transfer over wifi6 is (usually) more than fast enough, reduces attack vectors and can make everything nice and water proof.
