Happily, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has published rumors suggesting that Apple plans to bring MagSafe-like charging back to the MacBook Pro line when it releases the next high-end models based on Apple silicon.
Features AnyWatt MS support both MagSafe 1 (including the power supply of Thunderbolt and Cinema Display ) and MagSafe 2 Adaptor from 45W to 85W. The other problem is that the standard Apple USB-C charging cable is thicker and less flexible than the old MagSafe charging cable. The data-focused magnetic nubbins are also quite a bit larger since they need more pins, so they may block two ports. I can’t say if MagSafe ever saved me from such a calamity, but I appreciated using it for many years across several MacBook models. Apple’s desire to move to a single jack that could do double-duty for power and communications was the beginning of the end for MagSafe.In those cases I tend to listen for the Mac’s “connected” charging ping, but sometimes that’s hard to hear, and the lightning bolt on the menubar icon can be too small to see. Anker is likely a good compromise between getting something without the ripoff Apple tax and still getting good quality. Weighing just under 230g, less than half a pound, this 10,000mAh portable charger is about the same weight as your phone and compact enough to fit in your pocket, purse, or bag. My MBP16’’ works just fine with a 65W, 3rd party charger so I am guessing it should be fine with 85W of the Thunderbolt Display. Inspired by magnetic power connectors in deep fryers and Japanese countertop cooking appliances, MagSafe made it trivially easy to plug and unplug the power connector.
With the adaptors, they are a bit Rube Goldberg but it’s worth it not worrying about tripping and dropping my new MacBook Air which btw I just love! Not to be contrarian, but you would come out better if you sold your existing MagSafe adapters and bought USB-C PD adapters.But at times also a bit expensive (my guess is because they know many Mac user like to come their way). While I understand the criticism, I consider it more of a feature than a bug, since there are times—hotel rooms while traveling, notably—when I cover overly bright LEDs with carefully placed socks. Built-in multi-protect system, supports over-charged, over-discharged, over-voltage, over-current and short circuit protection. I’m about to upgrade my old MacBook Pro and after more than one disaster narrowly averted by the ease by which a Magsafe charging cable can be pulled out, I’m loth to lose it. That makes it a little harder to connect successfully since the magnetic connector has to align perfectly with the nubbin, and it’s more likely to be disconnected by movement.
For situations where the USB-C docking station or battery pack is not available I purchased a female to female USB C adapter (10 USD/EUR).Nah, that does not look right, this adapter seems to connect macbook USB-C port to HDMI etc, does not even support power. I had a Sanho HyperDrive external battery pack which had a MagSafe connector to connect to my MacBook Pro.

I think relying on a magnetic connection for any data transfer is a terrible idea—it’s far too easy to disconnect accidentally.
