I'd sooner believe it's because they want you to buy 2 of them, so you can charge one while using the other.

You'd buy a second to avoid taking a 2 minute break?

  I wouldn't buy any Apple hardware to begin with. We had to sue them in a class action because of their awful faulty hardware. We're never going back.

    I don't know, still better than all the other hardware vendors with their devices that are bad by specification.
    - leptons 2y ago
      Oh, like the 8GB Macbooks they are pushing? Like that kind of "bad by specification"?
      - throw4950sh06 2y ago
        I'd buy that rather than 32 GB anything else.

        Typical fanboy reply. You're beyond reason.

        I'd buy any other brand if they produced something comparable in all metrics to a Macbook. That means the chassis, the display, sound quality and loudness, excellent trackpad and a very adequate keyboard, no fans or any moving parts at all, low temperature, very long battery life, size, thickness and weight.. I don't care about RAM, I was able to live with 8GB just fine. All the other metrics are much more important to me, more RAM just makes it a little nicer but otherwise doesn't make the experience. Consider that the "fanboys" simply care about something other than you do. There was a time in my life when I had probably very similar preferences as you, but life changes.

        Trust me, you don't have to explain to me all the ways you're a fanboy. You've proven it already. Don't bother replying further.

        Fan boys usually care about the brand. ;-)

    Then why do you care? Why waste your time making shit up about Apple when you're not going to buy any of their hardware?
    - leptons 2y ago
      What "shit" did I "make up" about Apple? I haven't made up anything. Apple would be happy if you bought 2 of their mice to work around their design problems. More profit = Apple is happy.

Zero people on the planet do this. The mouse port thing is like a canary in the coal mine, betraying the people who just like taking shots at Apple, but generally are very ill informed. I think Apple should keep the port on the bottom purely so we can get the shortcut to discarding people's opinions when they hoist it up to concern troll. For actual Apple Mouse users, charging is just the least concerning thing imaginable. The battery lasts an absolute eternity. I'm using one right now that I've had for at least five or so years and I charge it once in forever, it charges super quickly, and it's just not a factor in my life at all.

  >"Zero people on the planet do this." You cannot reasonably make this assertion and expect that it's true. I mean, you outed yourself right there as someone not capable of a reasonable discussion. Sort of a "canary in a coal mine" of your own. I have never once had my Logitech mice run out of batter, not once, not ever. It charges as I use it. I'll take that all day long over the "magic mouse" with a charging port underneath so you can't even use the thing if it runs out of battery an an inopportune moment. But sure, go through the mental gymnastics of excusing a really bad design by Apple because you're an obvious fanboy.
  - llm_nerd 2y ago
    Yes, I can make that assertion. No one is buying a second magic mouse because of how it charges, and the claim is ludicrous nonsense. >I have never once had my Logitech mice run out of batter, not once, not ever. Okay? I have never, ever had my magic mouse run out of battery, or even come close. Again, you have zero idea what you're talking about. You cannot comprehend how long the battery lasts, or how ridiculously quickly it charges. The time to make a cup of coffee is days of usage. It is never actual Magic Mouse users complaining about this. Ever. It's always the peanut gallery leaving dumb comments. Like, why in the world did you click into a story about new Apple products to yap about how you would never buy Apple products. Bizarre. I'm not a "fan boy" for the reality that the magic mouse is actually perfectly fine, and it doesn't make me a fan boy to point out the peanut gallery that appears in every single Apple store with uninformed, often absurd takes. Cheers! Hope you have a great day.
