MacBooks used MagSafe for charging until 2016, when Apple transitioned to relying entirely on USB-C connectivity. When Apple introduced the overhauled 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro lineup in 2021, one of the headlining features was the return of MagSafe.
But there was one detail Apple failed to consider: Regardless of which MacBook Pro color you picked, the bundled MagSafe charging cable would be white. While not a huge problem, this led to an unaesthetic, mismatched design. Here it is in the wild:
Apple addressed this issue when it released the M2 MacBook Air last year, offering color-matched MagSafe charging cables for the first time. This included four different versions of the MagSafe 3 cable in each of the MacBook colors.
With today’s update to the MacBook Pro, you’ll also now get a color-matched MagSafe charging cable when you buy this machine. So if you buy your new MacBook Pro in space gray, you’ll get a space gray cable. If you buy it in silver, you’ll get a silver cable.
