My MacBooks would like a word. The Magsave cable changes every few years, regardless of outside forces. None of the ‘older’ ones fit my newer MacBooks…

"Every few years"

There have been three versions of MagSafe (not "Magsave"). The first one was in use for 6 years, the second for 6 years before it was dropped for USB-C. The third version has been around for two years worth of devices now.

MagSafe was introduced in 2006 and has had exactly three iterations. “Every few years” is a bit of a stretch.

There’s been three in total and the new one works concurrently with usbc and is an optional, nice, extra.
