Its no news that Apple has released a new MacBook with a lone USB-C port that will handle the charging, data input and video out, but what you might know is that Apple has also succeeded in creating demand and supply.

Since the new MacBook has just one port, users  can not recharge an iPhone and the laptop at the same time, so, Apple has released a series of accessories that users will have no choice but to buy.

To use a standard USB cable, you will need this $19(approximately 4,100 naira) adapter, both costing $79(approximately 16,985 naira), the USB-C Digital and VGA adapters each add another USB-C port, a standard USB port and an HDMI or VGA output, respectively.

So as it stands today the new MacBook cannot directly recharge an iOS device without an adapter.

Unless Apple releases the USB-C Lightning cable before launch, users will have to plug the standard USB Lightning cable into the $19 USB adapter.

The advantage of the power adapter of the single port is that it also be used as an iPhone charger when not recharging the MacBook.

The single port is simple and elegant, but frankly ignores the needs of consumers,after all, it is not that crazy to expect a laptop to simultaneously recharge its batteries and output video or recharge another device.

What do you think about this?
