It's purposeful. It's to force you to buy a new one.
A mouse with a normal charging cable placement can still be used by being plugged in when the battery goes dead.
This mouse, with the charging port on the bottom, becomes unusable once its battery goes dead.
No, it's because Apple hates it's customers and is happy to bilk them.
That said, they do make some very nice things, but participate in so much anti-consumer nonsense (not that that's any different from any other major corporation).
Youβre correct! And also, to be thorough, all corporations hate their customers.
(Are the customers making the corpsβs billionaires into trillionaires yet? How about now? STILL NO?!! Then we hateses them!)
Corps would absolutely prefer to chain up all humans and legally force us to buy all & every product with every cent we make. Apple is no different π€·ββοΈ
All hail the hypnoclip
I also heard the reasoning that this would make every photo on the Internet of the mouse being used cordless. That didn't really happen though
Are there really people who will buy a new mouse rather than charging it? How long does the charging take? Also, at that point, wouldn't they buy from any brand other than Apple?
Not dead as in currently uncharged, dead as in will no longer hold a charge (or holds a shitty charge)
