Sadly, It doesn't help with charging the overall design of the Apple Magic Mouse 2 Charging Port. $50 Million Dollar Compensation salary and the struggle stays real. :p

worst engineering ever right. one would think you can charge it and use it at the same time. perhaps your using it wrong.
 
$3 million in salary and $9 in bonuses is not that egregious. Probably equivalent to the total compensation they pay for about 10-15 senior engineers. I'd say he's worth that. As for the $50M in performance compensation. Considering that is tied to company / stock performance, I'd argue that's pretty light. If you had guy managing a 2+ trillion portfolio, paying him $50M a year would be peanuts.
 
After a few years of that, you can't be in it for the money anymore.

Tim loves every day that comes his way, and I guarantee that his primary driving force is the almighty dollar. The way he operates the company proves this. Steve Jobs enjoyed wealth but it wasn't his motivation, which is why innovation at Apple has nearly ceased under Cook. They replaced an innovator and visionary with a business man. It was probably the best they could do at the time.
 
Apple CEO Tim Cook could receive close to $50 million in compensation if Apple meets all of its financial goals, shareholders decided today in an annual meeting that was highlighted by Bloomberg.

Apple is going to have to release more than a Yellow iPhone to do that this year. We need cutting-edge innovation from Apple.
Lol. Apple and cutting edge...those days are gone. It's all about the $$.

If you use it right at the edge of your desk, with the sensor on the desk and the cable dangling over the edge, with very short staccato movements it'll be just fine ;-)

I bought one of these asinine first-party engineering brain fart mice just recently because my preferred third-party mouse vendor doesn't have full support for Apple Silicon architectures yet. :/

LMAO. This seems like a design left over from Jony Ive days, where the product aesthetic was more important that functionality

This is a product that really really really needs wireless charging, while you're using it.
 
Not defending the compensation. But it's not salary. The big number is from stock awards. All public companies pay this way. it's designed to keep the top managers focused on performance of the stock. The award value in this article is assuming current price.
 
Chill, it's not money that gives you peace and happiness
Except that there are 300M people in 'Murica right now whose problems could all be solved by $$$. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it would alleviate a lot of anxiety. Less anxiety buys a lot of peace and happiness. I've met a lot of "essential workers" for whom an extra $1000 a month is the difference between comfortable and waiting in line for Government cheese.

It's also a great way to avoid being taxed at the ordinary income rate if certain conditions are met such. ;)

I guarantee you’re wrong. Tim’s primary driving force is to make apple king of the hill with products and services.

In addition, stuff like “being able to afford a nice house near where you work” or “being able to pay for your children’s college education” can go a long way towards a happier life and peace of mind.
