This has been my concern since the moment I heard about lightning headphones. I saw no solution presented either.

  It's not really a big deal, I have a charger at my desk for my phone. So once every 3-4 weeks, I plug in the mouse when I leave. It's never run out of battery when I wanted to use it.

  i think they wanted to specifically make sure people don't use these with wires attached. Apple HATES wires. Imagine their marketing people getting heart attacks when some people dare to post pictures of their shiny Apple hardware online and the magic mouse has a wire attached.

    Then they should have designed it such that it doesn't take too much longer to charge than it would have taken for a normal person to pop new batteries in a generic wireless mouse.

Well, hell. I didn't even think about that. And it's a super complicated active cable, so there's not much chance of modifying an adapter to accept a charge cable alongside a 3.5mm plug. On the other hand, I will be very surprised if no one has come out with a dual adapter within a year.

Only if you buy wireless headphones (have you heard about the AirPods?)

  Problem is using headphones while charging is my daughters use case (she keeps forgetting to charge the phone) she is as likely to forget to charge headphones

The dock allows for charging and listening through a 3.5mm jack simultaneously so an adapter to charge and listen should be possible. http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MNN62AM/A/iphone-lightning-dock-black?fnode=97 http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MNN62AM/A/iphone-lightning...
