It will not be the magsafe of old. I could see them making a magsafe adapter similar to the iphone’s, that snaps onto the back of the screen on either side.
could even mean a magsafe charging area for your phone/airpods too

yes, but also the damn trackpad. I feel like i'm getting carpal tunnel just trying to avoid swiping the damn thing with my palm it's so freaking huge. Been 3+ years still feels like it's designed specifically to get in the way of my work.
My main gripe with the trackpad is not being able to customise the size of the right click area. It's so small compared to the size of the trackpad.

I'll believe it when I see it. I could believe them getting rid of the touchbar, but bringing back magsafe? I'm sticking with my 2015 MacBook until it's irreparable, and I do like the magsafe port, but is there really any point in going back after moving to USB-C? I think I just like magsafe because it's cool more than that it actually has some sort of superiority over USB-C. I've tripped over the USB-C cable to my w…

Perhaps the new MacBook Pro supports USB-C charging AND wireless charging? MagSafe in this context could be referring to wireless charging. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagSafe The quote from Kuo specifically mentions MagSafe charging connector design, but he could have mistakenly assumed his source was still referring to the wired connector if they mentioned MagSafe. Curious about changes to I/O ports. I would expe…
Wirelessly charging a laptop would waste so much energy. I really hope this isn’t what they’re planning.

I'm not sure that's true. I believe modern wireless chargers are around 75% to 85% efficient. That sounds bad at first, but I believe most ac-dc charging bricks are in the 80% to 90% efficiency range, so it's actually not much worse at all. And if it really is magsafe, the "secret sauce" there is the magnets will align things almost perfectly every time avoiding unaligned charging coils.

I know it's from Kuo, but these leaks don't pass the smell test for me. It makes no sense for them to add the touchbar to the base model 13" MBPs only to remove them from the higher end versions. It makes even less sense to add more ports which aren't USB-C, as the bits about MagSafe and no dongles imply. Further, I don't understand what is meant by "iPhone 12 like" non-curvy design - I have a 2018 MBP 15", and the s…
What if the new model had a touch screen?
I won't miss the the TouchBar.
It will be interesting to see what the new "Mag-Safe" looks like. I doubt that it will be USB C-based, but if it is, I hope it isn't like these stupid "USB C MagSafe" charging cords that are out now.
