see the problem is, you can't assume that anymore, because apple has been releasing samsung tier bullshit for a while now.

this is how badly they've tarnished their brand, not at this distance your honour, applies in the reverse

i have the mx master. it's v. good and the battery lasts weeks. if for some reason i need to use it while it's charging, the cable plugs in the front and it's still usable as a mouse.

Apple�s first ever battery iPhone case has generated a range of reactions and emotions. Some people simply can�t get over the hump.

I caught up with Apple CEO Tim Cook, who was in town to participate in an Hour of Code event, to take his temperature on the $99 iPhone 6 and 6s case, with the noticeable battery pack hump on its back.

We asked Cook if he is excited about the hump.

�You know, I probably wouldn�t call it �the hump,'� said Cook, who added he was aware of the comments surrounding the Smart Battery Case.

�As you probably know from being a user of this now,� said Cook as he grabbed my iPhone 6, which was sporting the new case, �one of the real insights here is, have you ever used other cases and tried to get them on?�

Cook was pointing out the issue with cases, like those from Mophie, that are so rigid it takes considerable strength and patience to put them on and take them off.

�If you make this solid all the way across,� said Cook, indicating the spots where the Apple case�s embedded battery stops and you just have the soft fluoroelastomer casing, �in order to get it on, you�d find it very difficult to get it on and off.�

�So the guys had this great insight to put the bend in along with making it a smart case,� Cook explained.

Some also see the introduction of an Apple battery case as an admission that battery life on the iPhone 6 and 6s isn�t all it should be.

Cook, though, said that �if you�re charging your phone every day, you probably don�t need this at all. But if you�re out hiking and you go on overnight trips� it�s kind of nice to have.�

Apple�s VP of software engineering Cheryl Thomas, who was also at the event and had been listening to Cook's description of Smart Battery Case usage scenarios, then chimed in. �When you need it, you need it.�

Cook laughed and agreed, �When you need it, you need it. That�s right.�

they make more than just mbps.

if you really want to make a big deal about denying a provable fact, go for it, maybe it'll help you sleep at night. but apple has left a trail of dead proprietary connectors behind them like blown roses since the mid-80s, so them doing it again is not surprising or even contentious.

those big vga connectors
scsi
firewire
displayport/thunderbolt
mini displayport
mini dvi
usb [seriously some people were mad that apple didn't go ps/2 with the imac]

off the top of my head you're missing at least three other apple specific display connectors* (90s era) and apple serial (mini-8)

*i don't know if they were apple only, but i've never seen the 35 pin rectangular block one** on anything else, and there was an hdmi-looking thing on the og powerbook that i've never seen anywhere else

**nm, it's scsi, HDI30, not display
