Thanks for posting that. I think when the rumour was spreading about USB-C/loss of Magsafe everyone was asking if Apple was going to do something like that, or even if it was feasible to both charge AND provide back out USB/Mini-Displayport ports.

I hope IFixIt guys takes those things apart, I bet they have their own little OS and processor just like we've seen in previous Apple "adapters."

The VGA one has to have something special for sure. The Type-C connector doesn't do analog video at all.

Even for mini display port these have a chip inside that actually does the VGA modulation. It's not a big deal.
