Reading this, it feels like the MacBook Pro of 2015 is finally getting an upgrade. Took them 5 years to go back and restore the old school. Great to hear a couple iterations ago they restored the keyboard. Now with dropping the touch bar and bringing back mag safe. My 2015 daily driver might see retirement.

#14It'll be interesting to see how this will work with USB-C unless they're being very courageous.
Well, there are those magnetic breakaway USB-C cables. Maybe they'll just bundle one of those with the computer.
For maximum trolling they should charge $29.99 for this feature..

Magic Keyboard was only introduced in mid 2020. And they are still not as good as MBP 2015 in terms of typing experience.
Magic Keyboard Key Travel - 1mm
MacBook 2015 Key Travel - 1.3mm
Key Spacing as well. They are tiny in Magic Keyboard Layout and it is harder to "sense" the keys apart.

TrackPad, being too large in Post 2015 models causing much higher false positives ( touching the trackpad and moving the cursor )
On the Good side at least they are listening.

Cheap joke incoming: yet another dongle. For maximum trolling they should charge $29.99 for this feature..
And if they move to the iPhone MagSafe charging puck design, I imagine they'll sell those separately.
