Magnetic breakaway USB-C cable for the new MacBook

One of the complaints about the (relatively) new MacBook is the replacement of Apple’s MagSafe connector with a USB-C port. A cable plugged into the USB-C port is held in place by a much stronger force, meaning a sharp tug on that cable can send your MacBook crashing to the floor.

Griffin has introduced a breakaway power cable for the MacBook. The end that plugs into your USB-C port is composed of two parts. The short part plugs into the USB-C port and turns it into a magnetic port. The long, cable end, then plugs into that port, magnetically.

Good idea. I wonder why Apple didn’t ship something like this.
