> I personally hate the non-magsafe charger because I trip over it and yank the laptop around, but I can see the trade off in being able to use a single charger for everything.

So why the *ck didn't they just include a little bit of magsafe-to-USB-C cable with the phones, and keep the wall-plug-to-magsafe charger? Then they could have transitioned the laptops over to USB-C at any time without inconveniencing users, added the safety of magsafe to the phones, and allowed users to mix-and-match chargers and cables.

But no, that's exactly what they didn't do. Funny that, for this vaunted "customer-centric" company...
