I’m glad to have a new and improved MagSafe on the MacBook Pro M1 Max. I’m really glad the team at Apple has listened intently to the creative community and been willing to backtrack a bit on the physical interfaces of the machine-while also rocketing into the future with Apple’s new silicon. Turns out, it wasn’t great, and some of the assumptions the 2016 MBP was built on just never panned out. That said, when I first learned the 2016 MBP w/ Touch Bar had no ports except USB-C, I thought to myself, “OK, hmmmm… Sounds a little audacious, but could this be great?”


Over the years, I’ve learned that oftentimes these decisions pan out (like excluding the floppy disk on the original iMac or eliminating physical keys altogether on the iPhone). Any time a bold design decision is made, especially by Apple, I always try to get into it as I trust they’ve been deeply thoughtful about how they’ve shaped a product.
