Apple's lawyers argued that an angry customer "omits details" about a so-called "walk" where condensation built up in his AirPods Max, and that moisture in the company's flagship headphones is simply "more noticeable" than in competitors' models.
I’m ready for the downvotes but I still don’t understand the general hate for the Magic Mouse. Once every two weeks I let it charge for 30 minutes while I’m having a lunch break and never have to worry about it.
How many times do you happen to need to charge your mouse and use it at the same time?
In the same boat as you. When I did use a Magic Mouse I’d just plug it in when I got up to go to the bathroom or get a drink, and not every time either. Never had the battery run out.
I stopped using it because the ergonomics don’t fit my hand very well.
Can’t be used wired out of the box but do support Lightning to 3.5mm jack. Source: owner of AirPods Max who’s had them replaced 4 times now due to faults.
Please - while connecting the cable to the bottom is less than ideal, it’s still var better than swapping out batteries.
It’s not like they need to be plugged in all day - if it dies on you, fill up your glass of water and you’ll be fine. Also low battery warnings appear weeks before it goes flat.
Not your point, but is is one for Ali… I was just fooling around with your exaggerated example.
Different point is. It isn’t about the battery, it isn’t about the connector on the mouse. It is probably about the charging wire itself (my opinion).
I think Apple deliberately choose for the standard charging wire they use for every other product they have (during the time of the launch of the mouse).
It al comes down to parts supply management, where Apple is famous for. The choice is use what we have or design something new.
They went for what the already got. A charging cable (and port) used for every device they shipped… a cable famous for being brittle, when connected to a device being physically in use.
Imagine this cable being used on a mouse while in use. This would be a bigger issue than a “shitty port location”. People are deliberately forced not to use the brittle cable.
… at the end of the day people who use this mouse seem not to have a problem with the charging choice made. People who don’t use the mouse seem to have more problems with this… and yes, it is a shitty mouse.
The Max might have more questionable design decisions than any Apple product in history
The Magic Mouse would like a word.
Magic Mouse: charging port on bottom
AirPods Max: can’t turn off without putting in case, can’t use wired, condensation death

It is also ergonomically horrible, to the point where I prefer to use the magic track pad over the mouse.

mega ouch, soldier onward king
which, in true Apple style, aren’t included. meanwhile, the Sony equivalents I got come with a 3.5mm cable AND an adapter for airplane audio jacks
And the puck mouse.

I bought my mom a 0.01$ mouse on Aliexpress which:
The battery isn’t an argument to put a port on the bottom.
• And has a free key logger.
That’s not the point. My point is just hardware conception.

With all the engineers at Apple, the could easily design a mouse with a port on the front and which can be used wired and wireless.
I guess these engineers don’t know how to dedig this when it’s available on a cheap Chinese mouse.
I think there is a working prototype at Apple with a charging port in the front.
