Apple's New Magic Mouse Retains Flawed Charging Port Design

Despite updates, Apple's latest Magic Mouse keeps the controversial charging port on the bottom, sparking mixed reactions.

  • Apple's third-generation Magic Mouse has been updated to include a USB-C port, replacing the previous Lightning port.
  • The charging port remains on the underside of the mouse, preventing use while charging, a design decision that has been criticized since 2015.
  • Critics argue the bottom charging port is inconvenient, but some suggest Apple prioritizes visual symmetry over functionality.
  • The Magic Mouse's ergonomic issues persist, with its flat design offering minimal comfort during prolonged use.
  • Despite ongoing criticism, Apple has not altered the charging port location, indicating a commitment to its current design philosophy.
