I use the wireless Apple keyboard and trackpad, which both have similar battery lives, but when the battery runs out it always somehow happens to be right before a meeting where I really need to plug it in and use it right now
(and these days when everything else is USB-C, instead I'm scrambling to find where my damn lightning cable has gone)
Although I get why they would not put the port on the back - their Lightning cables are not built for the repeated motion/strain of a plugged-in mouse. Anything more strain than plugging your phone in and setting it down causes the cables to break down in months.
- fmajid 5y agoThe cables don’t last because of pretty but ineffective strain relief. Another failure squarely imputable to Jony Ive.
- _ph_ 5y agoI can only recommend using BetterTouchTool for adding more guestures to the mouse - and it comes with a nice feature, it reminds me when the charge of the mouse goes below 25%. This gives me several days to recharge it before it actually gets low.
- Redoubts 5y ago> I use the wireless Apple keyboard and trackpad, which both have similar battery lives, ? The keyboard has 3-5x the battery life of the trackpad. Not sure how they can be similar to the mouse if they’re not even similar to each other.
- kalleboo 5y agoSimilar as in you're not recharging it on a daily or weekly basis, but only very rarely. A 3 or 6 month battery life doesn't make a big difference on that scale.
