> proprietary magnetic adapter

They're supposedly not proprietary but a standard size that's easily replaced.

Ok, though still obscure.

I don’t want to looking where to order it when it’s lost or broken.

Any guesses why they went with that connector rather than USB C?

  • Just for improved thinnness; they're able to reduce about 2 mm from the thickness with the pins (and you can still technically use them for data transfer depending on how it's wired to the SoC).
