Apple is generally known for its good designs. However, the firm sometimes also offers very bad products. And among the worst products Apple has ever made is the Magic Mouse. For what ? While some users complain of poor ergonomics, Apple has also placed the Magic Mouse’s charging port so that it is impossible to use it while it is charging.
But the good news is that the company is finally considering correcting the problems with the Magic Mouse in a new version. In any case, this is what Mark Gurman, a journalist at Bloomberg, and one of the most reliable sources of rumors about Apple, recently indicated. According to this, the firm would correct the Magic Mouse charging port problem, and would take into account other user complaints.
However, the new Magic Mouse wouldn’t arrive for a very long time. Indeed, according to Gurman, this new version of Apple’s mouse would only be released in 12 to 18 months, at least.
A problem that returned to the news after the release of the new Mac mini
The problem with Apple mice is not new. However, it has come back into the news recently, following the release of the new Mac mini with M4 chip. As a reminder, this new Mac mini has a new ultra-compact design that could appeal to the crowds. However, Apple also had the bad idea of placing the power button on the bottom, which means that you have to lift the Mac mini M4 to access this button.
The firm has already responded to these criticisms by explaining that this was the optimal location for the power button, on this new design of the Mac mini. In addition to this, she also explained that users do not use this button frequently. In any case, on the internet, many ideas are proposed for those who are not comfortable with the location of this button. Some people suggest turning the Mac mini over to make the button accessible, while others have created more ingenious solutions that turn the device on or off by pressing it against the table.
