What marketing genius uses a mouse upside down.
Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoHonestly, the mouse charger screams marketing or management. Apple’s brand is partially form over function.

It’s better for display
Users aren’t trying before they buy so the display is the most important aspect

Trying before you buy is literally the entire point of the apple store

How often have you tried charging while there?
What software do they let you load?

PARTIALLY!? The Vision shipped without a lens cover. It did ship with a cover for the outside face.

It was very likely a designers decision. It forces the use the use case they wanted; wireless mice should be used wirelessly. I would bet they fought marketing and management to get this on the final product.
Marketing would want the mouse they can advertise as being useable with and wireless. Female ports are easier to mount and manufacture with they have depth to set the socket. So a plug on the front is much cheaper and easier to manufacture.
The fact the charging cable doesn’t get used in motion means it will last longer and you wouldn’t have people useing fraying cables on the front of their mouse.
