@neven Yeah—sounds like a fancy way to do the final click of something like a BNC cable. A way to hold extra securely without needing awkward force (iMac-style) to unplug.

Extrapolating from such tiny morsels of maybe-fact… could this mean no internal “tide-me-over” battery?

With battery swaps needed for extra-long sessions, I’d kind of expect a little internal battery that can hold memory for a few minutes during a sleep state, without having to fully reboot on battery swap. But in that case, accidental power disconnects wouldn’t be so dire as to need a twist.

Maybe it just dumps RAM to SSD and can reboot super fast. But do you have to tell it in the UI that you’re about to disconnect? Like ejecting a 1984 Mac floppy?? Or maybe enough long-term sessions are expected to be seated, that they expect you’ll use wall power for most of those. Maybe there’s even MacBook-style MagSafe on the battery brick for when you wander off…

It all seems awkward, but will probably make sense in practice 😎

Time to add a couple new ones:

iPadOS hover
Magnetic power cables
The new pro iPad apps: #Logic and #FinalCutPro

@superfunc My own clutter-averse habits mean I probably wouldn’t buy something physical myself, but I WOULD find it neat!

I’d want it to exist, I’d want others to buy it, and I’d want to see the pics!
