Apple TV remotes? Magic keyboard/mouse/trackpad?

My Apple TV remote has usb c, can’t answer to the other doodads

My suspicion would be that they’ll update them or stop making them

the 10th gen ipad is usb-c already but for some reason only compatible with the old pencil so you have to buy a dongle to use it

When the world is destroyed in nuclear hellfire Apple will still be making the Magic Mouse and the charging port will still be on the bottom.

The Magic Mouse is the absolute worst mouse I've ever used. It exists solely because it looks and feels luxurious. It sucks to hold, it sucks to scroll with, and it has weird acceleration and deceleration that doesn't match any other mouse I've ever tried and causes me to constantly over or undershoot what I want to click. When I first got a Mac I thought that was just how Mac handled mouse input, but no, if you connect a regular Logitech mouse it doesn't feel that way.

It loving rules and you're just wrong. The charging port on the bottom is the only flaw.

The watch still isn't totally USB-C, but its exempt from the EU law due to the necessity of a special charger.

There must be something really dumb going on with this mode that is causing these issues. I posted before about how the clock app froze on me.

Even if the magic mouse had a sensible charge port I'm not sure why anyone would buy it while the magic trackpad exists.

I think someone also posted about how their alarms reset or didn't go off or went off early. I bought an old school Casio alarm clock in case an os upgrade messed with my alarm.

I’ve never understood the issue with the charging port. The battery lasts forever. If I gotta charge it, it’s always after hours anyway so it doesn’t impact actually using the mouse.

But wouldn't being able to use it while it's charging be a net benefit anyway?

Da Boom!
Been wanting a really fast NVME USB drive, and also wanted to test ProRes 4k60p recording, so I got a $40 1TB NVME and $30 Sabrent enclosure from Micro Center. The NVME easily saturates the 10gbit USB link, and the enclosure actually comes with a data cable unlike a lot of cheaper ones.

ProRes recording works really well! I formatted the drive as APFS on my mac, no idea if you can do it in iOS somehow. It shows the recording time remaining, and the resulting file has a ridiculous 1.6gbit/sec bitrate.

If it made the mouse cost $25 more because of Apple BS? No, not really. The charging port location has never once been an issue for me.

Yeah okay just invent a whole new reason it's problematic :rolleyes:

It's an objectively stupid design that practically every other rechargeable mouse doesn't have for good reason. The only "Apple BS" was designing it like that in the first place

Mouse looks good

e: I will say I don't use it as a daily driver, I'm on a Logitech MX Master 3S but I feel there is a use case for Magic Mouse. The Apple price is high but actually comparable I guess in its class.

the Magic Mouse is proof that Apple does the bare minimum:

the Magic Mouse aluminum housing has remained unchanged since 2009

the charging port on the bottom is where the AA battery slot was on the original generation

Gotta say it cracks me up that fingerprints on the edges of the 15 was broadcast as an issue. Sure your great mitts will leave a mark but they wipe off easier than from the screen. Two weeks in for me and it's a total non issue.

Jerks trying to farm clicks, I hate them so much.

It’s like a lot of Apple stuff such as HomeKit. Seemingly designed by people who have not and will never use it.

I feel like a lot of the "ohhhh people are going to be so mad it scratches so easily" stuff was PTSD from people who owned the titanium Macbooks.
