With the evolution in computers, there has been a tremendous change in the connectors that come with it.TheĀ cables for MacĀ have often been ones that only Apple uses because of their need to control the ecosystem.Back in 1984, the first ever Macintosh computer came with DB-9 ports for modem and mouse with a coiled phone cord for the keyboard.Two years later, when the then latest Mac Plus arrived, it brought with it the mini Din-8 serial port for connecting the modem and printer.
(Yes, Apple made printers too, at the time, it was the ImageWriter.)
After these connectors, we have seen plenty of connectors from Apple, like ADB, which was for keyboard and mice and designed by Steve Wozniak.
Some of the more recent cables for Mac have been their MagSafe power cable for Mac laptops.
Now that it is gone, the market has adapters.And thank god for third party manufacturers, like us, for making adapters and cables that you can connect with your Apple devices, new and old.The latest connector that you will find on MacBooks, iMacs and even the iPad is the USB C port!
In Appleās hunt for āone port to rule them allā, they have finally found the perfect connector.All the way from old Macs to the new ones, the cables and connectors they use, from the mini Din-8 or theĀ USB Type C cables, the connection standards have been changing, all to culminate in this one port.USB Type C cables are everywhere right now.
