But, I'd assume that any changes made would be improvements over the current version. Oftentimes, products developed under crowdfunding campaigns go through a lot of changes before their final design. To clarify, I've got an unreleased (you can call it a "beta") version of the Bolt-S. That way, whenever you use the Bolt-S, you can just allow the magnetic force bring the cable to the connector. The cool thing is, the magnetic connector that is inserted into the MacBook Pro is so small that you can leave it in if you've got a spare port. It doesn't have an elbow shaped connector the way the MagSafe was on my older MacBook Pro, but the straight cable style doesn't usually get in the way when I've got my Mac sitting on my lap. It has a strong magnetic pull but breaks away very easily. It's indistinguishable from Apple's official USB-C cord. Vinpok sent me a sample of an early model of the Bolt-S and I can say that I'm impressed by the charging speed.
You'll need to return to your Apple USB-C cable if you want to do any data transfer. The Bolt-S may have fast charging capabilities for the MacBook Pro, but it does not support data transferring. The thing that makes the Bolt-S stand out from the others is that it is one of the first, if not the actual first, to hit the market with support for 87w charging, which is the wattage that Apple's 20 MacBook Pro power adapter use. There are actually quite a few either already on sale, or on their way to public launch in the near future. It isn't the first MagSafe-style USB-C connector on the market. Vinpok hopes to fix this gross oversight with the Bolt-S.
