You might be willing to give them a mulligan on their recent design choices, but I'm not. Apple has historically had smart, sensible designs -- even Apple haters can't deny that.

The amount of time required to charge doesn't change the fact that no reasonable person would consider the pencil or the mouse charging method a good design.

>> Same thing for Magic Mouse. You think you can design it better? You have a better place for that port?

Well, there are already mice with charging ports where a cord would normally go. It's a solved problem.

Nope. If you look at the actual design, there is not space for a port there. It's only a solved problem if you're content to bulk up the mouse in that particular area, for something that, again, takes a few minutes a month.
