What Is MagSafe?
If you’ve never owned a Mac, then you may not be familiar with MagSafe. Introduced in 2006, MagSafe was a line of magnetically attached power connectors for Apple’s MacBook computers.
Instead of inserting a plug into a computer’s side, the MagSafe charger connected to the computer easily using a strong magnet. The magnet would allow the power cord to detach from the computer without damaging the connector or the notebook’s power socket.
MagSafe was extremely popular among Mac users, but that didn’t stop Apple from removing the connector from its lineup starting in 2016. It eventually was replaced by USB-C.
