The Mighty Mouse charge port is indeed a WTF, but what's wrong with the Apple Pencil? The charging setup looks ugly, but it allows the Pencil to be charged on the go without needing an extra cable that people would lose or leave behind. And it's fast enough (15 seconds of charging for 30 minutes of usage) that the awkwardness hardly matters.
- Watabou 10y agoThe Mighty Mouse is the same. You get 9 hours of use from 2 minutes of charge time, and macOS warns you ahead of time, enough time for you to go and get a cup of coffee and by the time you're done, you'll probably end up with a full day's worth of charge. Or on the day that macOS warns you, just leave it to charge overnight. You get over a month of charge (I get close to 2), of usage. The charging port on the back of the mouse is done to stop people from using it with it plugged in, which ruins the overall design, and since most people are lazy, they'll leave it plugged in all the time. Apple designs its products by thinking of an ideal use case first. Then they will try their hardest to make people use it in that ideal scenario. I don't quite see the WTF here. I understand Apple's design decision and think it's actually quite clever, despite what it looks like at first glance.
