miskUsing the iPhone 15 Pro as Apple intended
weedwhackingI have no idea what I’m seeing here.
iPhone 15 pro USB C charging a Apple Magic mouse (lightning port located on the bottom).
Neato(lightning port located on the bottom).
Wow. And I thought I had seen bad design before. It's rare to have a wireless device that is entirely disabled when charging.
It’s so people don’t just leave the cable in so it always looks clean and slick.
…fucking hell
whoisearthIt’s rare to have a wireless device that is entirely disabled when charging.
Apple - hold my beer
I know plenty of headphones that can’t be used while charging, but that’s often because it would be inconvenient to use simultaneously
That was one of the main reasons why I sold my Sony headphones and replaced them with Airpods Max. Charging the headphones while in use isn’t really any more inconvenient than using wired headphones would be.
My Sonys can’t be used with Bluetooth when charging but you can use 3.5 mm audio input so they act like wired when charging. Probably because they’re using a fairly standard Bluetooth chipset which also controls charging
To be fair, I charge my Magic Mouse once a month and it takes less than an hour. Throwing it on the charger overnight when I leave for the work day isn’t a huge deal.
How does the phone know not to charge itself by draining the mouse?
It’s an apple Magic Mouse and it’s new battery backup.
The possessive of “it” is just “its”
“It’s” is short for “it is” like “you’re” for “you are”
I’m not trying to be rude—just want to be helpful. I used to incorrectly use it’s the same way.
So did they write “its” or “it’s”? Because the comment is currently correct.
u/lukmly013 💾 (lemmy.sdf.org)It isn’t fixed.
its fixed now
No, it’s not fixed.
and it’s new…
I think they just wanted to use its wrong
SotuandusoWhat about it’s wrong?

Subtle.
bob_wileyThe comment currently reads…

It should be…
It’s an apple Magic Mouse and its new battery backup.
The first “it’s” was correct, the second “it’s” was incorrect and should be “its”.
I was too focused on the first “it’s” that I missed there was a second one. You’re right.
But for Henry’s it’s still apostrophe s. Because that makes sense.
Its is a possessive pronoun. His, hers, theirs, and its, not hi’s, her’s, their’s, and it’s.
Default_DefectDownvoters must have hated being in school. Rude teachers correcting grammar all day…
A mouse that can only charge if placed upside down, or in rare 3rd party charging carriages. Apple making things nice, neat and simple as they usually do.
because they don’t want sheep just leaving it plugged in all the time and ruin the wireless ‘magic’ ascetic. why not Qi charging though?
Doesn’t look like any sort of fruit I’ve seen!
“It just works”
PrismoThis one word made me laugh more than it had any right to.
like a turtle flipped onto it’s shell.
Its belly baking in the hot sun
Hamartiogonicbeating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, Leon, not without your help.
“Well, you see, I hate turtles”
there’s a dead mouse! get rid of it
Steve Jobs is seething right now…
Thanks, this post reminded me to charge my mouse before I forget and find it dead tomorrow when I actually need it.
It only needs like a 3min charge to get through a work day, so it’s not completely terrible if you do forget at least.
That’s not all the bullshit.
In every other mouse, the sensor is in the center of the body. On magic mouse the sensor is near the front under your fingers.
That makes it very hard to adapt to when you’re coming off of other mice. When you’re moving the mouse you better not slightly rotate it out of habit and ergonomics because the mouse will move weird.
I have been using LogiTech mice since 1994 and I don’t intend to stop until I’m dead.
If LogiTech goes bankrupt, I will spend the rest of my life buying used mice.
superterranLogitech definitely doesn’t deserve this level of brand loyalty but I basically feel the same way
SnipingNinjaI like the idea of magic mouse gestures but I’ll never use it because of gestures vaguely at Apple
I Cast FistThat makes it very hard to adapt to when you’re coming off of other mice
“You unworthy peasant, you should be grateful that our products even work under your dirty, uncouth hands!” - Apple, probably
lazynoobletIs the charging port on the underside? So you can’t use it whilst it’s charging?
Not only is it on the underside, when it’s plugged in the sensor stops working. You literally can’t use it plugged in.
Someone choose to design it like that.
That is evident. The bigger issue is ergonomics. My hand will cramp up within minutes of using that piece of shit. While the charging thing is stupid, it is only a minor inconvenience that is blown out of proportion. The ergonomics aspect is the major issue IMO.
SurpThe mouse charging port is on purpose so you buy two mice. Apple sucks guys stop pretending they do much to benefit you. When you buy a new iMac it comes with one charging cable for two devices lol.
I thought it was to force people to use it as a wireless mouse and not just leave it plugged in all the time. Or so someone said. Still annoying but not really on the level of “we’re trying to force you to buy two”.
This mouse was released when Apple favored a clean design over everything else. While i don’t agree with that decision, it lasts for days with just a couple of minutes of charging. Getting people to buy it twice just for that reason had nothing to do with it, who in their right mind would do that?
Ok apple employee browsing lemmy lol
I explained the reason for it and said i don’t agree with it but i guess next time i’ll just leave you braindead haters to it…
DonebrachI can tell you as someone who is forced to work professionally on a Mac this is by far the stupidest design choice the company has ever made. It’s a lightning port, could easily be fit into the front of the mouse with a basic alteration to the body. I have a backup mouse for when my mouse dies in the middle of working and I don’t wanna stop and wait 20 mins to charge the damn mouse. I also have a wired dell mouse but it only supports up-down scrolling so I prefer to just have two magic mice.
Totally agree, I guess the horizontal scrolling is its only redeeming quality. I did not now it was a lightning connector, that makes it even worse. If I remember correctly you can thank Johnny Ive for this shit.
The design hasn’t changed since it was AA batteries; it was not designed with the rechargeable battery pack in mind.
The worst you can say really is that it was a lazy upgrade, which is totally valid.
My guess is they didn’t want to redesign the top surface for aesthetics or charitably, perhaps technical reasons to do with the combo touch / click area at the front, and the front is the only place you’d want a port.
Could also be the sensor, smack bang in between the batteries and where you’d want the port… they should’ve just redesigned it, but they probably thought everybody should go trackpad so why bother
