HyperMac forced to stop selling MagSafe charging cables

I've submitted a suggestion to them. They could still sell with one minor adjustment to their hardware. Let's hope they get back to me.

Apple could not stop them at that point.

I love Apple, but in this case, it's something Apple doesn't sell - aka external batteries.

This WAS a great product.

Apple blows.

Apple.... you're killing me!

This is why I use Android phone. Few years ago i love Apple.
Think diffrent... That was a time...

Now Apple is ONLY moneymaker and nothing else. Sad but true.

I can't see how it is a breach of patent if they are buying apple parts.. Surely the apple patent applies to the actual connector, not what you connect to the other end... This seems overly protective apple.. (and I own shares in apple too!)

I think its a little ridiculous. Its not like Apple makes a product comparable to this nor is it a competing manufacturer making a product with their design. I dont claim to know anythign about copyright etc but common sense to me says this is just Apple flexing their muscle

Apple should be encouraging companies to create accessories for its products.

Plus, it seems to me that if they are using Apple parts, then they haven't "re-invented" anything, so how could they be violating any patents?

Silly nonsense.

Honestly, I'm not surprised to see this happen, but still it's sad. I bought one of these when first introduced and it has been a real plus in extending the use of my 2008 MBP on the go.
