    It makes all the sense in the world to move these devices to USB-C. My bet is that they still have stock/parts to clear out, and we’ll see a USB-C refresh like we did with the AirPods Pro 2. As far as the mouse design goes, they must be selling these mice like crazy to continue to sell the dumbest mouse charging design for 8 years running. Otherwise, maybe they want to completely redesign the mouse and they just aren’t ready to release it yet.

      The moment apple releases a mouse that can be used while charging, it will be impossible to even resell the current model.

      Cook is going to let the Christmas rush flush as much of the channel out as possible and then rev the accessories in the spring.

      I was gobsmacked last week to see my colleague open a brand new Amazon Dot thing ($20AUD smart speaker) and see it with a barrel jack. Really?

        Making record profits, gotta trim those “expensive” parts.

        Literally nothing a single USBC port can’t replace. One world, one port ffs. Can we just get that done as a species at least? flips water bottle
