well said. That stupid apple dongle on iPhone. Amazing that I can't charge AND use my urban ears. Wtf.

Or apple abandoning that cool magnetic charger! My mbp 2010 had that skinny one, and I never came off.

Now we have usbc or whatever it is called, but waaaaay longer battery life, so that might be the answer there.

Come to think of it, is there wireless charging for laptops yet?

I think Apple must have fired all of their UX engineers. That's the only thing that can explain the inability to charge & use headphones and the inability to charge & use a mouse[0].

Amazon has a few Qi receivers with USB-C plugs outputting 1A - that's probably enough to (slowly) charge the 12" Macbook.

A docking station serves that purpose already, and it allows much faster charging than a Qi pad.
