Think about all your Apple devices and the ways they get power. Got a list in your head? OK, read on.

Mark Gurman, PowerOn newsletter:

• Lightning: Apple uses Lightning as the connector for all of its iPhones, the entry-level iPad, the iPad mini (but not the iPad Air or iPad Pro), iPod touch, and accessories like the Apple TV remote, MagSafe Duo and Battery Pack, all AirPods products and cases, and keyboards, mice and trackpads.
• USB-C: Apple uses USB-C for the charger on the current MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro and iPad Air.
• MagSafe for iPhone: Apple launched its large puck-shaped MagSafe charger for the iPhone 12 line last year.
• MagSafe for Apple Watch: The Apple Watch has used the same MagSafe charger since the first model in 2015.
• MagSafe for Mac: MagSafe started its Mac comeback earlier this year with a new round connector on the revamped 24-inch iMac. Expect another MagSafe design to make its way to the new MacBook Pro this year and a redesigned MacBook Air next year.

That’s five different mechanisms on currently shipping product.

More from Mark:

I believe Apple should shake up its connector lineup and slim down from five different chargers to as few as three. That would go a long way toward simplicity and better management of multiple Apple products. That should start with transitioning from Lightning to USB-C.

Imagine if Apple shipped a single cable type, USB-C to USB-C (like the cable that comes with the new MacBooks). Then, accompanied by a simple set of specialty power-savvy dongles to plug into one end, for Apple Watch and MagSafe.

Not sure if this is doable, from a power standpoint, but if so, that’d make packing up for travel a lot simpler.
