Apple insider are already framing this as not a design flaw but an advantage somehow

excellent marketing strategy to get us talking about their stuff that would otherwise get almost completely under our radar.

Oh an Apple thread. More people angry at something they were never going to buy anyway.

[–] simonced@lemmy.one 26 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

More like laughing at what they were not going to buy anyway.

I'm still laughing at the mouse you can't use while it's charging

[–] uis@lemm.ee 11 points 18 hours ago

True innovation tho. There was no other mouse you couldn't use while charging.

Excuse me. Some of us do buy Apple products. And there's nothing that comes close to the bargain price of the base model, so we laugh at it while buying it too.

I can get an I9 32gb 1Tb mini pc for under 500€. Where is the bargain?

Just be thankful they didn’t put the power cord there like they did with the mouse.
