It's still a design disaster, and forces the user to always use wireless.
This is once again a part of Apple's philosophy if deciding how we use their products, instead of letting us decide how we want to use their products.
>>51784818
I rather take a mouse with no visible ports than a mouse with a retarded cable coming from the front
If anyone still doesn't think this person
>>51784821
isn't rusing them, then they are retarded.
>>51784828
if you dont want to use wireless, get something else than apple mouse, you can still use any mouse you like with a mac, I dont use mac but I am planning to buy their wireless keyboard and mouse for my hackintosh.
if they make a WIRELESS mouse but still want to use the old design (low profile, no cables, no switches on sides, front or back) the bottom is the only place
>>51784831
why are you looking a the front of your mouse?
>>51784831

>>51784821
>>51784831
the thunderbolt port is so fucking small that it doesn't compromise the aesthetic at all, and you will literally never look at the front of your mouse. you are a massive retard and you should be sterilized.
>>51784858
Didn't you know? The newest Macbooks don't have USB ports.
>>51784645
It does feel like Apple is being sabotaged.
I will mention, the Apple Pencil thing isn't as retarded as it looks.
15 seconds of charge gives it 30 mins of battery.
The pencil comes with a cable for "actual" charging. They just designed it so you can quickly "top up" the pen if it runs out when on the go. I don't think it was ever intended to be left like that for minutes.
>>51784848
>>51784851
>>51784861
if they tried to fit the charging port to the front, it would make the mouse bigger, since the front end goes so near to the ground: to fit the port there would have to be:
1. a hole in the design for a cable
2. higher distance from ground to fit the port under
both would ruin the design of the mouse
>>51784857
when have I ever claimed that, I am just trying to stop the pointless anti-apple circlejerk
I rather have a rechargeable mouse than one with AAA batteries.
and the port is used so rarely and for such short periods of time it does not even matter

how is it a flaw? do you really think you need to always keep your mouse plugged to a charger?
it takes fucking 2 minutes(120 seconds) to charge the mouse for 9 hours of use, not a big deal, you can literally charge it while watching a video or taking a shit.
>wireless mouse
Is there really people advocating for such heresy?
>>51784914
The mouse one is the least of the problems, charge it overnight and it's gonna fully charge and last for months
But why not just have the hole on the top where most mice have their wires?
This is the power of Cook. He lacks Steve's autism.
>>51784942
I like wireless mice, less wires and easy to travel with
>>51784914
It takes 10 seconds to swap out the batteries on my mouse to get a year of use.
>>51784943
because the top is a single piece of glass, and it would ruin the look of the mouse.

Best Part about this is I use rechargeable batteries, got 6 of them, 4 in constant rotation for my headphones and 2 in my mouse, meaning as soon as my mouse battery gets low I just toss in the already charged headphone ones.
Cheap as shit eBay batteries too, claimed "1800mAh", lasts me about a month.
No charging time required. No need to flip my mouse over.

(and any of the chargers can be used to charge the mouse if it runs out of battery(takes like 2 minutes to charge for few hours, or if I charge it for 10 or 20 minutes it will last ages))

There's two reasons companies like Apple are very interested in diversity programs.
The PR-friendly line is that getting more women and minorities involved in the product design process will allow them to better appeal to those markets. If something is made primarily by a team of upper class males, it stands to reason that it won't have the interests of middle/lower class females in mind.
The less PR-friendly reason for these programs is that by bringing more and more people into the labor pool, the cost of labor will be driven downwards significantly. This is also why companies like Google, Microsoft, etc. are spending so many resources on free educational tools to get people into programming.
>but it only takes 2 minutes to charge!!!
I'm more interested in the fact that it literally makes you buy a new mouse once the battery dies
>>51785859

I could see your point if you were talking about a high end phone or laptop. On a mouse? Hardly even worth the effort.
>and I highly doubt its going to die in a short time, its going to last many years before becoming unusable
Now you're baiting. The usual batteries average 3-4 years of life, and reduced lifetime way earlier.
Before Jobs died:
>Apple designs iPhone at the perfect size for human hand interaction, releases multiple videos explaining why it's exactly the size that it is
>Apple bashes the concept of a smaller, or larger iPad, again explaining why it is the size that it is (Equivalent to an 8x11 sheet of paper)
>Apple focuses on what they want to do, ignoring market pressure in favor of creating their own markets
>Jobs mocks the idea of a stylus for iOS devices, pointing out how they were designed from the ground up for the human hand
After Jobs died:
>Base iPhone size increased, introduces massive iPhone plus due to market pressure
>iPad Mini released due to market pressure
>iPad Pro released due to market pressure, doesn't even have the same aspect ratio
>Apple Watch created and released due to market pressure
>iPad Stylus created due to market pressure
>Hideous iPhone battery pack created due to market pressure
It's getting pretty bad. Apple has fallen so far recently. They're barely a step above Samsung in terms of just copying whoever's successful at that moment.

The apple mouse is the only thing that will die on you and you have to stop your work flow while you charge it, Not even providing an option for a separate cable.
>>51785961
>it's still the same if you ignore what's different!
>>51784728
Part of being in the apple ecosystem is to buy the newest hardware as it comes out. The mouse will be changed long before the batteries runs out. Maybe the apple engineers invent a new charging port for example, then you need the new mouse with the cool new charging port. Maybe they move the charging port to the top of the mouse, maybe on one of the buttons AND underneath it as well so you need a dual cord. Gotta get the newest hardware, pleb.

A month, for a mouse, isn't a long interval. I use rechargeable batteries in my Logitech, and, like the other guy said, they last about 12 months a charge.
1 month charge duration is what you'd expect for a Kindle, not a mouse.
>>51786207
if charging the mouse is so easy to just plug in for few minutes while watching a video, its not a big deal
>>51784766
apple's laptops dont have usb ports anymore
>>51786280
What if you're not watching a movie?
What if you actually use your computer for productivity. For some 2 minutes is a lot, that's why there's a market for i7s and not everyone settles on an i5.
I'm also pretty sure 80% in 2 minutes is bad for any battery.
>>51786304
I have 4770k and do a lot of productivity, and I can be 2 minutes without a mouse when writing code or something similar
>>51786280
What are we talking about here? This is mouse tech. Mice should be super-efficient, and have been for years. Apple fucked up. No, really. They made the wireless mouse dependent on a power source at a higher frequency than the standard (8-12 months versus 1 month, or whatever). That's really unacceptable. Things should be moving forward, not a decade backwards
>>51784821
Do you actually find humor in being such a faggot?
>>51786303
>one apple laptop = apple laptops
i don't expect you to understand fundamental logic, but you should try and study it.
>>51786331
not him, but you're being stupidly accommodating. i don't foresee anyone - even you - using a computer and realizing that they're about to enter a 2-minute or so stretch of not needing their mouse, plug it in, and go back to using the computer.
the best case scenario is that people will plug it in at night. more likely people will just panic and get really angry when their mouse dies because they haven't been charging it at all.
>>51784781
Coming soon to the Apple Store, Iadaptor
Only $129.99
>>51786580
how hard it is to just plug the mouse in once a month over night?
>>51786597
How much better is it too not have to worry about that for a year?
>>51786615
because if you want a small slim mouse that has a shiny logo of an apple? and all the features
>>51786597
apple's entire culture is hinged on design being intuitive and reasonable. this is an unreasonable place to put a charging port for something that needs more than annual charging.
nobody is saying it's not possible. i said the best case scenario is people plugging it in overnight because it's more likely that people will forget.
casting it as a *challenge* that's too "hard" to do is retarded. don't act retarded. it's something that's easy to forget, and the cost of realizing that you've forgotten in this case is very high, because it's impossible to plug it in and use it (the way you can with the new keyboard, as an obvious example).

>>51784664
It's a purposeful design choice, so that people don't use it while charging, so no one gets the impression that Apple would make a wired mouse in 2015.
>>51786698
and yet some don't
>>51784729
What no apple store credit?
>not giving them money they can only give back to you

>>51786748
absolutely disgusting, too tall, physical scroll wheel, no unified top, thanks senpai, I already have one of those and I hate it.
>>51784805
Or you know you could just plug the cable in the front of the mouse and use it as a wired mouse while it charges.
Failing that you could probably buy 3 or 4 mice for the price of the magic mouse and swap them around.
>>51786798
IMO magic mouse is one of the greatest mice ever made, even tho I dont use any other apple products, I really like that mouse.
charging it every once in a while is not a big deal and the port on the top would ruin the design of the unified top going so close to the ground

What do you want from me? Oxford-tier english?
I learned it here, from you motherfuckers and also on KC, never saw one complaining before.
Industrial Design major here. Graduating in spring.
The Magic Mouse has always been shit. It's a great concept with great sensors wrapped in the least ergonomic shell I've ever had the displeasure of holding. Apple has always been shit at mouse ergonomics (actually at ergonomics in general for several years now). At least with the mighty mouse they tried to strike a balance between looks and comfort (It still wasn't that comfortable, but better than every other apple mouse I've used). I'm not even a little bit surprised they put the charging port where they did. One, they didn't want to mess up the look of the mouse at all, and Two, they don't want people using it while it's plugged in. Apple accessories are WIRELESS and it's very important for them to keep that "no wires no mess" image intact. Even if it comes at the expense of their customers.
The pencil dick is retarded too, obviously. Even if they did build that thing solid as a rock it would probably get looser and looser over time (assuming you never fucked up and just broke it off completely, which would be way too easy). The only thing I can say is good about it is that at least it charges fast, so less time for it to spend in such a vulnerable position.
The battery case is just lazy and honestly embarrassing. Just lazy as fuck nothing much else to say about it. There have been much better alternatives for years, but I have a feeling I'm going to see more of these than of the third party cases.
As an almost industrial designer, Apple design is boring as shit. There are a few aspects of a few products I like, like the curved edges of the iPhone's screen glass (which seems like a total rip of the Infobar A02 but whatever), and the Pencil looks nice, but other than that it's all either stagnant or boring as hell. They've been fucking up more and more since Jobs died, it'll be interesting to see how it goes over the next 5 years.

Same thing for the mouse, it charges really fast, therefore you don't actually leave it plugged like that for a long time.
There is just the battery case I don't get. They could have just made the phone a little thicker, nobody would have noticed, and there would be no need for that type of case.
Slimming the 3GS was very welcomed. But after the 4, I felt we had reached an optimal thickness.
