USB-C cable with charging indicator

I'd just like to know why Apple abandons a good thing that works. They have always had an external charge indicator. And the MagSafe has saved many a Mac I've owned when I've tripped over the power chord. Come on Apple get with the program.

I'd say that for similar reasons, I do like to know when my new MacBook Pro is done charging and aside from really missing the MagSafe, I also miss the indicator to let me know that my Pro is done charging or not before I open it up. Moshi appear to make one that has the indicator lights in it, but it is $35. I'm a little bit surprised that Apple didn't consider this when they launched the new Pro, I haven't tried this cable myself, as I was looking for a 1m cable, however, if I can't find one that is 1m with a charge indicator light, I'm going to try this cable myself.

I am also missing the indicator light. Out in the filed I wanna know when the device is ready to go. It is a no brainer to add an additional blanc area that can charge the macbookpro like the Apple Watch, got a light,magnetic and is USB c/TB.

The new MacBook was designed w/ hipsters in mind and killed some of the useful features saving me a lot of time in the field.

Gonna **** the warranty of my MBP17 and rebuild the charging ports/mechanism. Monkeys....

To keep the battery in good conditions for as long as possible I want to be able to discontinue the charging process as soon as the battery is fully loaded. With the cable provide by Apple it is easy to forget.

That assertion is debatable.

Tip: If you open the lid, unplug and replug the USB-C cord, you will see a momentary graphic of the battery's charge level.

Unfortunately, I have the impression we'll have to wait Steve Job's soul return inside somebody else...

In little important things like these, we miss you Steve!

There is no use for it, it is impossible to overcharge your Mac, (the charging circuitry is fully automatic, it will go to trickle level as needed) quit worrying and just use it.

I am using the Moshi USB-C cable on 2016 Retina MacBook and works fine. LED in Cable works as designed. Yes, a bit pricey but. . . your choice!
