  • Macs have had USB-C charging since 2015.

    This was, in many respects, a downgrade, since Apple’s proprietary MagSafe was seen by many as a valuable feature. Power cords that pop out rather than yanking the laptop off the desk if someone trips over it are pretty handy.

    In 2021 Apple started re-including MagSafe on their laptops. But since doing so, the USB-C ports have also been able to charge the laptop.

    So since 2015 they’ve been compliant with this law, and since 2021 they’ve had the best of both worlds, with either option working.
