USB C is no MagSafe.

Nobody's saying it is. But surely if USB-C is a little bit closer to MagSafe in terms of coming out a little more easily, that's a good thing?

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

[saagarjha]

The problem with USB C is that it carries data as well, so the easier you make it able to fall out the more likely it’s going to do so when you’re trying to run bits through it.

I think it's more like whitewashing - where the 'meh' is the enemy of 'better, and already exists and works'
