Leaving MagSafe out is inherently logical from a manufacturing point of view.
Since the materials needed  for MagSafe (rare earth) are exceedingly rare outside of China, which puts high tariffs on exports or doesn't even allow export unless it's in a manufactured product (thanks to the tariff war that one orange idiot started a couple of years ago) ... and I bet one main design goal was to produce the cheap-o version outside of China (mainly in India) to avoid US import tarriffs (that a certain orange felon recently introduced). Since this is the low-cost model, there is no room for 'expensive' features in that setting.

Seriously!? They trust a promise from any thug of the tRump regime. So Apple can be totally stupid indeed.

So the Apple enshittification continues. Soon the whole Apple Privacy schtick will become as ridiculous as Google's 'Don't be Evil' lie.

Yes, that's what I always think about the US, that eventually droped it's ethics concerns and had their German 'prisoners'  build rockets to go into space and later on the moon. *sarkasm off*

Seriously EVERY 'new' invention is build on the shoulders of the scientists/researchers/inventors that came before ... and not all those inventions were used for purely ethical reasons.

The "fun animation" is really distracting and takes ages. Has anybody found a way to get rid/speed up that useless animation? Apple is really losing the usability fight .
