Hello!
Remember the "old days" when Apple invented the Magsafe connector? For me, it has saved my laptop tons of time when our dog, kids, or something silly just trip over the power cord. Since then companies who copied the Magsafe connector was sued by Apple.
As covered in a prior blog of ours, Apple patent includes not just the magnetic connector, but a special chip inside the magsafe connector that actually communicates with the Macbook. What that means is that if you made the magnetic connector with that chip, you're infringing on Apple Patent(the chip was what tells the Macbook to start charging). That's why we were first in the world to convert Apple (we bought them them from Apple) Magsafe connectors to be used with car adapters and External batteries.
Since then Microsoft has also come out with their own magnetic connector for the Surface Pro tablets. Why are they not sued? Because there's no chip inside!
Since Apple has done away with Magsafe cables and have moved to the USB-C standard, we are all at risk of having something pull our expensive laptop off the table again!
Since I'm a big fan of the Magsafe, I looked for a USB-C cable and came across a magnetic USB-C cable! I'm happy again. Quality appears solid and capable if high powered charging.
On our next road trip, I will definitely be bringing this magnetic USB-C cable along with our very own USB-C car/battery adapter!
Are you ready for that summer trip!?
