Apple to move the location of the charging port to the middle / top of the mouse after complaints about it being on the bottom.

Make a mouse that fits my hand. Current one is comically tiny. I'll stick with Logitech.

Anker vertical mouse for me, my wrist over the years had too much twist using a flat-based mouse of any type. I do have an apple mouse that I have thrown in a bag that goes around with me in case I have an emergency. The mouse is so flat and so light that I’ve never noticed that it’s there until I need it. The cases where I do it’s convenient, but to be honest, the track pad is easier.

I wonder if they'll make a touch-based mouse that doesn't suck.
EDIT: To clarify, I would like that. I love the way the Magic Mouse functions. It just sucks. The thing is so uncomfortable and the trackpad feels better in practically every case.

Just make a separate Touch ID device, without the keyboard, please.

@misk better hope it’s USB-C.
I now have USB-C cable for my Mac, a lightning cable for my trackpad and a special charger for my AppleWatch. Being trapped in the most expensive eco-system means carrying around three separate cables.
The Huawei watch can be charged by placing it on top of a Huawei mobile. #NoCable

Apple Watch is not so bad, it’s common for smartwatches to require proprietary charging pucks. At least this one also charges my AirPods.

I recall reading the Magic Mouse was deliberately charged in a way that would prevent it from ever being used when it had a cord, to keep the image of Mac products being wireless and minimalist was still a thing. It could fix the ridicule if it had wireless charging via mousepad charger.
Wow interesting this actually makes sense considering Apple always makes weird design decisions like that
When I first got my Magic Mouse back around 2018, I swear I could use it while it charged. At the very least the touch surface still functioned but I vaguely recall being able to use the edge of my desk to try it to track. Somewhere along the way they disabled it from connecting while charging.
Tbf the placement of the charging port is wild. I get it charges really quick but still, it’s literally the most inconvenient place they could have put it.
that was likely the entire point, to stop people from leaving it plugged in all the time.
hurry up with the AirPods Max please.
AirPods Max have USB C now though?
I would love to jump on that bandwagon, but they sound so fucking awful. I’ll pick my Audio-Technica gear with the awkward Bluetooth every time; not that I use the Bluetooth while listening to music but it sure would be nice to have something on Apple’s level of wireless for meetings and audio quality in one package.
