    I’m guessing they’re waiting for the release of the rumored bigger iMac to update the peripherals then, but it’s still crazy to me that they haven’t updated the bottom facing port on the Magic Mouse still, I would’ve expected that to get updated ASAP, it’s such a design embarrassment lmao

      I understand the thinking behind the bottom-facing port. It forces the user to disconnect the cable to use the device which preserves the aesthetic of a desk setup.

      I wonder if the next Mouse from apple will include a wireless charging mat similar to Logitech’s Powerplay system (which I have and love; haven’t had to even think about my mouse’s battery for the last 3 years).

        I agree, Cables are ugly. Apple should actually go a step further and do this with the rest of their lineup like the mac. For the iPhones the device should shock you for using it with a cable.

        And yet the keyboard doesn’t require that preservation. It’s just the mouse, and it’s just because they wanted a continuous curve.

        It’s form over function and it punishes users for forgetting to charge.

      I don’t think it’s waiting on a release, they might already have those usb peripherals built, they probably haven’t worked through enough of the remaining Lightning stock, and that’s the holdup.

      I feel like it’s very popular to shit on the Magic Mouse when it lasts me MONTHS on a single charge and takes maybe 30 minutes to charge it from 0%. I work 40 hours a week using the mouse and it’s really not that big of a deal.
