Apple Cancels Work on Electric Car, Ending Decadelong Effort - Lemmy

Thank fucking god. Imagine the kind of monetization that would exist inside an Apple car. You think subscription seatwarmers are bad, and they are, but I can guarantee Apple had much worse in mind, and that most companies would simply follow suit.
They would come up with a charging port that only existed in the parking lot of Apple stores
Also it would on the bottom of the car

Deserves a shoop

alt-text: actual Apple Mouse charging via its bottom port

(Interesting, this guy says it gains hours of charge in three minutes, and thinks Apple knew some would leave it plugged it at all times. Intentional sure but not exactly “brilliant”.)

Tech pundits often slam the Apple Magic Mouse design but what if the perceived charging mechanism hinderance was an intentional design to shift behaviors?
