Magsafe 2 to USB C converter

Will Apple be making a Magsafe 2 to USB C converter? Is anyone aware of a third-party option?


I recently got a Macbook Pro 15" (late 2016) and am furious at the extra expense of adapters needed to incorporate this machine into my setup (USB to USB-C, USB-C Digital AV multiport, HDMI cables, USB hub...). Now I need a second power adapter, and given that I have several Magsafe power adapters lying around I'd prefer to use a converter stead of buying a new USB-C power adapter.


It's sneaky of Apple to not include needed adapters with the machine. What should have been a pleasant quick-start has become a nightmare of unexpected purchasing and stalled setup.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016), iOS 10.2

Done. Feedback submitted:


I've been thinking about replacing my 2013 macbook pro with a new one. The cost is alot to consider. Having to add replacement power adapters along with all the other adapters needed to maintain the same connectivity I have today via USB-C pushes the cost too high. I'll stick with my 2013 macbook pro.


When will Apple provide:

1) a magsafe 2 to usb-c adapter?, or

2) credit when purchasing a new macbook pro towards 1 adapter: 65W power, USB-A/B, thunderbolt 2, or any other one thing to ease the financial blow of a new macbook pro rendering all previous apple adapters useless?
