I hope somebody at the time replied with a picture of the original iMac's hockey puck mouse.

Apple can do amazing things, but they do also fairly regularly make terrible things.

I mean, the current Apple Magic Mouse which has its charging port on the underside is interesting as well.
Sure, but wasn't cockroach charging introduced in 2015, vs. c. 2010 for 4-inch Android phones?
What's 'cockroach charging'?
Ah, I see. I've never seen a phone which charges from the underside, though.
There's a pretty common use case that's basically this: get in the car, plug in the phone, and drop it in a cup holder with the charging port pointing up and all the antennas that would point skyward during handheld use are now pointing at the ground.
