Apple ‘updated’ the Magic Mouse — and the internet is clowning the notoriously bad port placement
There's a new Apple Magic Mouse — and not everyone is happy about it.
Apple updated its mouse this week, selling a new $99 version that has precisely one major difference: it can be charged via USB-C now instead of Lightning. That should be met with universal praise, or at least one would think that.
Instead, however, the internet is pissed off because Apple changed the port, but kept the port's location on the underside of the mouse. This means you still can't charge the mouse while using it.

Of course, there are other things to dislike about the Magic Mouse as well. Its lack of buttons is a big deal for a lot of folks, too. But Apple had a real chance to change the one thing most people hate about it — and didn't.
