A new patent reveals that Apple is looking to make their charging devices non-adaptable for each of their products. In other words, the iPod connection that you use to charge your iPhone as well, would no longer work on both devices. This patent comes after the announcement of new, smaller MacBook chargers.
Apple claims that this patent is a good thing because it would mean stolen Apple products wouldn’t be as usable as before. We say, that’s pure hogwash. Apple is trying to make some more money off of their gear, it’s that simple. — Andrew Dobrow
