Adam Kos On Friday, Apple started pre-sales of its latest MacBook Air with the M2 chip. But it was not the only news that appeared in the Apple Online Store that day. There was also an accessory in the form of a MagSafe cable, which can be bought in just as many color variants as the Air is offered.
So far, it seems like a fairly clear and understandable step. If you buy a new MacBook Air with an M2 chip, in its package you will find a 2m USB-C / MagSafe 3 cable in the same color as the MacBook Air you chose. But the problem is that when you already bought a 14 or 16" MacBook Pro in the autumn of last year, i.e. the first representative of the new design in the field of portable computers from Apple, which brought back MagSafe to MacBooks, it also had it in its space gray color MagSafe cable silver.

After more than half a year, you can finally match the MagSafe cable with your space gray MacBook Pro. In the Apple Online Store, it is available not only in this and silver colors, but also in the new dark ink and star white. Why did we have to wait so long for such a breakthrough as a color-coordinated power cable from a company that puts design at the forefront? Moreover, this is not the only case of the illogicality of Apple's marketing of color accessories.

Let's at least be happy that Apple doesn't charge a different price for a different color treatment for an ordinary cable. The company offers the Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse in white or black, but you pay a lot more for the latter. 600 CZK for the keyboard and trackpad, 700 CZK for the mouse. There are also USB-C/Lightning cables in the same color. The joke is also that Apple presents this accessory as black, but it practically does not have a black product in its portfolio, we can only find space gray or graphite gray and dark ink.

However, it is true that black is only the upper surface, i.e. the keys of the keyboard, the touch surface of the Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad, the rest, i.e. the aluminum body, is just space gray, which already corresponds with many products. But why can't we still buy this accessory in blue, green, pink, yellow, orange and purple when Apple has it in its portfolio? We are, of course, referring to 24" iMacs, which are sold in these colors with corresponding accessories, excluding peripherals and cables in the same color. But you can't buy them separately.

Pavel Jelic So if you choose a configuration with a trackpad, which you then want to replace with a mouse, it will be white (or black). The same applies in the opposite case or in the case of the keyboard. So if you want to match your Mac with accessories, avoid all design-friendly colors and simply always go for the most versatile of all – silver. In the case of Apple products, this usually permeates the entire portfolio, even if it too is gradually being displaced by the new starry white (for example, with iPhones).
