Apple Preps MagSafe Rev 2
Apple filed a new system which should be the natural evolution of the current MagSafe. Differences are mostly affecting the magnetic part which will be replaced by an electromagnetic connector.

So, the magnetic filed will only be created when the power unit is connected, preventing your MagSafe plug to collect any metal parts lying around on your office desk. In addition, many have suspected that the current MagSafe issues affecting the junction between the MagSafe plug and the cords might simply linked to the magnet, competing with the magnetic field created in the cord when the current is going through. In addition, to avoid that the plug falls off if you have a short circuit or any power outage, the new system will use a bit of MacBook power to ensure the plug remains in place.
The new system should be introduced over time, or together with new MacBook Pro models.
