You can power it on using the keyboard. There’s a power button there.
Is the keyboard not bluetooth anymore? The computer would have to be on to connect to a bluetooth device. If they still had wired keyboards on the other hand...
You can connect the keyboard with the USB-C cable. That’s how you charge it anyway.
Although, I know everyone here absolutely hates the idea of ever plugging in an apple device to charge it. Just look at the conniption fit everyone throws over their mice.
Of course, people who don’t care for it could simply not buy it, but then nobody would ever have anything to make a comment about. This whole community is 99% rage, posting about things that could not possibly matter less.
Whaaa? The charging port isn’t on the bottom of the keyboard? 😂
Ah, if I used a Mac keyboard then I’d probably have known that. I generally don’t really like Mac peripherals, I’ve got a full size mechanical keyboard and a thumb wheel mouse. I get that it’s not an insurmountable problem, but there’s only one face out of the six that you can absolutely guarantee isn’t going to be immediately accessible, so why put the only button on the whole machine on that face, as opposed to next to all the I/Os?
This is already been explained to you. Asking the same question more than once expecting a different answer doesn’t seem sensible.
Can you also use that button for hard reboots? Because I use the power button for that with some regularity.
Then it sounds like your problem isn’t where the button is, it’s that you have to keep pressing it for hard reboot. Sounds like you have a software issue that needs resolving.
Oh just solve all the software problems in the world so this need never arises. I’ll get right on that.
Once again, it not Apple’s fault that your computer keeps freezing.
If you put a fraction of the effort into fixing it that you do into whining about things that are your own fault, you’ve had it solved already.
You’re adorable.
And you’re a crybaby. Crybabies are not adorable.
