I'm against the move, but undoubtedly we'll soon have a breakout device like the MacBook has for having HDMI, audio in/out, and power all through the one port.

The Dell XPS 13 has a USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) port, which can do display, audio, and AC power all in the same port.

USB-C is the port on the Macbook as well, for what its worth.

Even if Apple doesn't make such an adapter, third parties undoubtedly will.
