I'm so raged right now at Apple

I'm not sure we need another thread of Apple-Bashing but I don't see why this in particular is an issue.

It makes sense to me for them to sell the power adapter and cable separately in case you want to replace just one.

I've bought several power adapters from Apple in the past and in my opinion they make it pretty clear that you're just getting the power adapter.

It seems like people are very happy to jump on any small thing they don't like about an Apple product and act like it's a huge deal.

I think part of the issue is also that the old and the new power brick are about the same price, but the new one doesn’t include a cable. Also the packaging is mostly similar, so it’s not very clear in indicating that there’s not a cable included anymore.

That makes sense.

I've never owned a Macbook so I see it as a huge iPad or iPhone charger instead of a new version of the old Magsafe bricks.
