Whether an Apple fanboy or not, I think most people that even consider anything Apple already expect the Apple tax, so price isn’t a flaw so much as a thing you just deal with.
Apple fanboy will still buy it regardless. Some of em are so obses with its flaws. You can actually have a brain and buy other product. Iphone and mac is the only good thing from apple. The rest is just meh.
@@Dispo030 No not really. Apple did not invent the computer mouse. It has a history well before Apple Inc. was even founded from Engelbart's work to the Germans to Xerox.
nope, they will make a magic mouse 2 which is wired at the back and has a decent grp for 200, then a magic mouse pro which would be the same thing with a charger at the front a 1s delay on the wireless for 250
what do you want them to do? give 300 dollars more for you getting something? sorry to break it out to you little timmy but the world itself revolves around money stop crying.
Would you ever say your kid is not smart? He had to say something positive - although Cook going with ergonomics is ridiculous. Would've been nice if mkbhd had said his mind then.
i still dont understand why would anyone even buy apple product when all they do is making shitty product after another. and then people go and defend their product and bully everyone that dont and then complain how shitty they are
Honestly the mouse design sucks, and lots of their other products have problems too, but DAMN they know how to make a product look good, and create a great user experience if you buy their entire ecosystem. And yeah other companies make product that can fulfill the same functions, but it always feels clunkier. Also, they actually do innovate sometimes ( most notably with the vision pro. yes I do think that 1400 dollars is reasonable fight me)
@@noalarm2they convinced you that buying their product makes you smarter, thinner, and cooler. In reality, it makes you dumber, poorer, and more insecure.
I think it was intentional. They wanted it to be unusable while charging. They didn't want people to just leave it plugged in while using it, because they don't want their fancy computer to look like it just has a regular wired mouse. So they intentionally forced users to wait until it's charged, then unplug it to use it. This is just one of the hundred or so reasons you shouldn't invest in the Apple ecosystem
Third fatal flaw: if you're not that well co-ordinated, like the rest of us, you need to hold the mouse quite securely on the sides when clicking otherwise it moves and registers a "drag" rather than a "select" action - but if you do that, the button you depress on top pinches the skin of your gripping finger or thumb on the side. This is uncomfortable but more importantly can stop the button press from registering at all.
They ship with iMac's as well as being purchasable separately for other devices they sell. So some get them because they bought the system not because they bought a mouse that isn't particularly good at being ergonomic imho. Far from the worst product made. Charging it is something you when you are not using it. Defeats the purpose of a cordless mouse to have it plugged in to charge while using it. If you are at least a little tech savvy you already know this. Mice are a item that is a individual choice. We simply don't all have the same size fingers, hands etc.. Cheers!
@@tysoncoffman7562e fact that they sell them seperatly implies that it's worth it to do so for them, proving the point. Also why are you defending this nightmare? You might forget it one night and then can't use it or whatever could happen. Defending this is just stupid. It's a flaw, nothing more. I don't always want to think about charging it, so I charge it when the battery gets low. Same for a headset. Sometimes you're on it longer and it gets empty quick etc. This is stupid.
@@meloney why are you conflating? You should comprehend more and talk less. No one endorsed, simply pointed out fact in direct response to another post. You have a brain, why aren't you using it?
I worked for apple for a few years. the plan with the USB underneath was that die-hard apple customers would simply buy TWO mice. one to charge, one to use and swap over as needed.
Wow ! That's some crazy level marketing. They are sitting on so much cash that they have forgotten that people are having hard time affording food in these days.
@@melsyteThe reason they are sitting on so much cash is Steve Jobs didn't take any compensation the entire time he was back at the company. His compensation package was $1 salary plus stock options. He forced the company to reprice the options to make them more valuable, but never actually used them. Ever. It wasn't intentional, he just never got around to it. He was financially set from Pixar and Disney. The money he could have taken was able to be reinvested.
@@NowLedgeOutpost YES, people who buy apple products should be deported to countries like Uganda and the only way they can come back is to earn the money they spent on Apple devices, then they will release how absurdly hard it is to earn even 100$
I actually really really love magic mouse. Scrolling with it is so smooth and intuitive. Two finger tap, tap, click, double tap, etc all the gestures are really easy. Charging port is dumb tho
@@dh4444 Would it surprise you for me to say you can get smooth scrolling in a mouse designed for people with hands? Also, you know what's more intuitive than gestures? Buttons. My only conclusion is the Apple engineers started designing with the intention of selling aftermarket mouses. Either that, or to see if they could get someone to defend an obviously terrible design.
@@dh4444If the Magic Mouse fits your hand well, that's good for you. For me, a regular small mouse leads to pain in my hand over time so this magic mouse 2 would be even worse. I went from the small HP mouse I bought with my laptop to the newer Logitech G502X which is perfect for my large hands and it's wireless but I only need to charge it once a month and I can use while charging. Inifinite scroll is awesome though, but I personally wouldn't get the Logitech work mice with the huge scroll balls. Edit: Not sure if you were talking about Logitech when you mentioned the scroll ball or you meant something called the "mighty mouse"?
meeses with flip-flops is the cutest thing I've heard today! now i really wanna see a mouse walking around with little flippity-floppity noises. can generative AI create this?
@@signumxmagnum Wrong. If it were to prevent users from just leaving it plugged in all the time and making it look like a wired mouse, Apple's magic keyboard wouldn't work while being charged. So it's not due to that. It actually stems from a practicality issue. Apple's previous magic accessories were powered with AA batteries. And since just 2 minutes of charge gives 9 hours of use, redesigning the whole thing wasn't really worth it. And I mean, it's the same with airpods and the magic pencil. No one says anything about airpods being unusable while being charged or the apple pencil since airpods just need 5 minutes for 1 hour of use, and the apple pencil just needs 15 seconds for 30 minutes of use. Either way, no big deal.
@@Jonesy1701 No one says anything about Airpods being unusable while charging because they completely lack any kind of charging port and the addition of one would substantially increase their size - for true wireless earbuds this is a genuine practical choice Loads of people made fun of the Apple Pencil - do you not remember the first gen version that stuck out the side of the iPad begging to be snapped off? Or the recent iPad that got released without the hardware to use the second gen Pencil, but it also didn't have a Lightning port so they needed a type C to Lightning socket adaptor to charge the pen?
@@Jonesy1701 dude how much are they paying you? It would take less energy to admit that they, like every other company on earth, can be dumb sometimes.
@@suhaylazmin9112 honestly they should get rid of Magic Mouse and focus on Magic Trackpad. If someone wants a real mouse they’ll probably buy Logitech anyway.
I am sure the case has been conceptualized and designed by the same person who designed the fatal flawed magic mouse. It might solve the ergonomic fatal flaw for a child. It still does not solve it for an adult.
No, this mouse uses gestures. Covering it with two clickable buttons defeats the purpose. Just plug in or connect any other regular mouse if you don't like it
3rd fatal flaw is no pinch to zoom. The tech supports it but for some reason Apple doesn’t enable it. I know there’s magic zoom but it’s nowhere near as good as pinch to zoom
@@heelercs you have no idea how funny your comment is, but for all the wrong reasons 🤣🤣 ...I'm just waiting for that "...oh sh!t, am I the one in a cult??!!" moment to land
@@cristianiliusi3489 you could be just fueling rumours. It’s obvious, iphone 5,6 are going to feel like stone age while iPhone 12, 13 are still as they were when new. Remember: apple updates every phone at once. If it had to make old devices slow, they would have released separate updates for each model! Which could be the case for every other android phone or companies that stop releasing updates for older versions.
it's actually strategic, because now those products will always be the apple version, and they will be strived for anyway because of the brand value apple infuses into their products
@@dashingclasher except it's something you get once and then realize it's so bad you have to return it or keep it thinking you'll somehow get used to it and then let it collect dust and never buy again, and then you dislike Apple more
@@UmarRosyad they've all been brainwashed so these comments will be censored for them 😂. Omg...maybe mac users literally cannot see or read or hear criticism concerning apple... It would make sense. No idea how they continue to buy apple
Smart! Don’t take his word for it. Buy one and see for yourself. And if you’re going to do that because you saw this video, he absolutely deserves a thank you check of three cents for having inspired your purchase. Smart! Yet another reason he is on top. He covers _every_ angle.
I'm surprised they haven't sold a laptop and / or smartphone, yet, that doesn't even havvvvvvve a battery, and then sell a battery, separately, charging something like $600 for it.
@@antoniospappas2575 I think the problem is the Steve Jobs wanted to create a new style mouse, and with that comes new issues. The issue now is that Apple has stuck with the original design concept rather than trying to innovate and improve on issues, (which if Steve Jobs was still alive, would probably be fixed).
@@antoniospappas2575When we purchased the 2011 MacBook Pro, the seller gave us the magic mouse with it at a really cheap price. At that time, those mouse were battery operated, so yeah, it wasn't really Steve Job's fault.
@@JasperJanssenAbsolutely. They don’t do hardly anything by accident, and this certainly isn’t one of them. What do you reckon the thinking is? So people have to buy 2 of them or something?
@@-Apollo-13 if you can use it while it’s plugged in, a significant fraction of people will just keep it plugged in all the time. And that would suck for them, in the ways wired mice suck, and also still in the ways wireless mice suck namely weight and connection lag. If they allowed you to plug and use it, they’d probably at least feel honor bound to make it transition into a real wired mode, which is complex and expensive. But even if they did it would still be heavy and have a wire. It starts warning you about battery long before it’s done for, so it’s extremely unlikely you wouldn’t have any opportunity to plug it in overnight.
@@-Apollo-13 I have it, and I have to charge it like once every 10 months. I think it's better to put at bottom so that I don't have to look at ugly charging port daily.
Reminds me of the SpongeBob chocolate episode where SB and Patrick are selling chocolates and they’re brainwashed to buy purses to carry the chocolates they’re selling. IYKYK 😅
@@Redwan777 a slip on shoe that people wear around the house usually before bed..like right after the shower before bed walking around the bedroom, etc. I take it you don't live in America... what are these called where you're from?
@@pineira6304 that's clearly a lie, what a ridiculous thing for Apple to claim. All it actually does is encourage people to use a different mouse, either a different brand (that's not shit), or a wired mouse.
Because it would look kind of ugly if it was on the front or the back. And especially with how Venice is it doesn't even have a big arch where they could have put it on the backside of the mouse and said they put it at the bottom.
@@domenik8339 😂 if you let it come so far you have have been missing signals for days. And it only needs a couple of minutes charging to last for hours. Buy one and experience it yourself
Two possible scenarios: 1. Apple don't want to admit they were wrong, with this design. 2. They lost a secret bet with another technology company and have to keep shipping this mouse.
I use a logitech G203 myself, I can vouch for it being a simple, durable, and ergonomic mouse with more functions than your average PC user would need.
My work MacBook came with one of those terrible magic mouse "only for show" things. I actually added a silicone top cushion and rubber side grips that gave it a similar shape. It made it usable but not as nice as an ergonomic mouse for the same money.
