Not sure if Kickstarter is required for this. You can already order magnetic adapters for micro USB and Lightning ports fom China, and I even found existing solutions for the Type C port [1].

Or this one from Griffin, and already available through Apple accessory retailers worldwide: https://griffintechnology.com/us/breaksafe-magnetic-usb-c-po...

Does Apple have a patent on this, or is it just not novel enough to warrant it?
