I would also ad the Mac Pro wheels on the list. 700$ for something that will slide away your 10.000$ computer if small imperfection or puff of air will make it roll alway ?
Got a tip for us?

Apple's Most Questionable Design Decisions in Recent Memory

Those weren't questionable design decisions. It was courage. 
I would but the G915 wireless In a heartbeat if they replaced that horrible microUSB port for USB C as I try to only have USB c ports at home now for any accessory I buy.
Will replace my MX master 2s with the G502 and G915 LIGHTSPEED the second they have usb c
Yeah I love almost everything about it except for the lack of the accelerometer (I think that’s the right term). The original Siri remote could be used for games, for example as a steering wheel in a racing game. Now, with young boys, they can’t use most of the games with a newer remote. It’s the one thing that’s wrong with the new remote. Everything else is good.
They didn't offer the repair for the entire 4 years, smart guy. Don't pretend like they did. They announced it with no time limit. Then, they added a time limit.
I am honestly surprised that it seems like no one remember this.

MagSafe Duo Charger Works With iPhone 13 Pro Cases, Despite Minor Fit Issues
Earlier today, a report highlighted that an iPhone 13 Pro with a case doesn't lay fully flat on the MagSafe Duo charger, igniting concerns about...

I bought the 2013 Mac Pro when it came out. I used it for 5 years and never had a complaint about it. I upgraded both the storage and the RAM myself for not a lot of money. It's a shame the graphics cards weren't upgradeable, because I might still be using the machine today if they were. It was surprisingly powerful and really quiet. I never understood the hate.
I like that mouse as well. Batteries last next to forever in it. But I eventually came to prefer the Trackpad.
The Sony and Bose models we had here that play in the same price range have an inner lip over the zipper if I remember correctly. Point is plenty of these headphones are used while travelling hence having half the product completely exposed and the other half made of that awful synthetic material that we have come to hate on iPad cases already due to its lack of durability and attraction to fingerprints isn’t pleasing if you have the most expensive product in the comparison bracket.
Absolutely personal preference but this is the lacklustre first generation HomePod approach all over again. Some great ideas, then fallen asleep at the wheel.
I recently bought the backlit Satechi Slim X3 Bluetooth keyboard that has USB C. It can pair with four different devices; and it can be used as a wired keyboard as well - you can just leave the charging cable plugged in and not bother pairing it.
Same here, at least I just pop in whatever AA's are lying around, of which I have many, mostly rechargeable. Goes for weeks, sometimes months on end on a set.
And the fact that the scroll ball sucked up dirt and became inaccurate rather quickly. But yes, the touch gestures solved that problem elegantly.
I switched to the Logitech MX Master for Mac and surprise, it has a USB C port on the front of the mouse to use while charging as a corded mouse.
There’s a conspiracy (whether it’s true or not idk) that Apple forced people to buy two mice by way of making it inoperable while charging. They figured if you’re already buying an overpriced mouse then chances are you have money for another.
Speaking of old. Most were too young or weren't born yet to know Woz was the sensible engineer while Jobs was the marketer who wanted ventless Apple II for aesthetics which caused overheating so end users had to mutilate and drill hole in their device for vents or fan. Cook is even worse and wants to glue literally everything down to take away hardware and software freedom to squeeze more profit.

One other thing for the list is the absence of indicator lights to show a device is charing; my new M1 Air, Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Keyboard. What if you plug them into a faulty outlet or adapter? How hard could it have been to put a little light, somewhere on all the devices mentioned. At least an iPhone's screen lights up when you plug it in to charge and a quick tap of the screen will later reveal the state of charge.

The menu bar being on the side rather than the top is something I wish office would copy. Current laptops give me too little vertical space and too much horizontal space and I wish more apps would be designed with this constraint in mind.
Love my Mac Pro and the Siri remote. The Touch Bar is the thing that I’ve hated the most in actual use… that head phones case too. Ugh
I didn't mind the Apple TV Remote. The new one is better, but the old one served it's purpose. Now what should have been on here was the original Homepod. It just looks so bulky and it should have been smaller and maybe wider (Yes I know you have the mini but that came out later). Also, you really can't do anything with the homepod device itself and I barely use Siri.
