Last MBP I had was a 2019 for work and it was all just type C. My brother’s 2012 was the one on mind.
They brought magsafe back with the 16" and 14" MBPs. The older ones are USB-C only.
I recently upgraded from a 2018 model to a 2025 one. The 2018 model was USBC only but the 2025 one supports both USBC and MagSafe.
Honestly I kinda like it. I prefer the magnet but if another USBC charger happens to be more convenient I can just use that instead.
