This question or reflection is asked by those who We saw how Apple was charging the MagSafe connection port on Macs to add the USB-C port. This type of connection does not bother us far from it, the connection is compatible with most accessories and having a unified port for everything is always better than having a different port for each equipment, but, after the recent patent shown by the website Patently Apple in which you can see a MagSafe connector for the iPhone we wonder if Apple would be able to go back in this regard with the Macs.
Logically it is one more Apple patent that has nothing to do with the possibility of seeing it on an iPhone. It is true that rumors have been talking for months about the arrival of this MagSafe port for the iPhone but nothing is said about Macs.
Changing the connection port again could be good and bad in almost equal parts. The good news is that the advantages over the USB-C port are fairly fair and we do not think this change is worth it unless the MagSafe port is a kind of USB-C or Lightning that accepts everything and is compatible with rates of high data transfer. This is difficult to happen so that in principle we do not see clear the return of this port to the Mac.
For the iPhone, well, more of the same and the advantages of adding a port of this type are not so many as to implement it, at least right now. We understand that it is something simply patented and does not mean that it will be a reality in the next few years, but it is also true that we can feel somewhat nostalgic when reading or seeing these types of patents when our Mac had this port years ago and they supposedly changed it for a better one ...
