Guess it’s a good thing then that cars now ship with usb c ports and that wireless CarPlay picks u momentum.Not for one person, but multiply that by how many cars? It is what it is, I suppose
Do you ever take bathroom breaks? You will get more than 24 hours of charge if you get up from your desk for like 5 minutes.
This is one of the only few things I can say against Apple products. All the products from this list should adopt USB C now!
In fact, Apple added USB before any other brand on the Mac, Why not do it on the other products? Come on Apple give us what we want and need!

It's absolutely bonkers that Mac input devices are Lightning-based. They should've used USB-C from the moment Macs adopted USB-C.
As for the MagSafe Battery Pack, it should be charged through MagSafe Charger. That is, I should be able to place the iPhone with the battery pack on top of the MagSafe charger to charge both devices.

By putting the charger on the bottom, they force everyone to use it wirelessly, which re-enforces the fact that you use the wire to charge it and not for data.
Imagine your 90 year old parent just keeps it plugged in, and then one day it goesn't work. they'll think the mouse is broken, instead of trying to charge it. It was a deliberate design decision, and Apple isn't going to take it back because they made an oops.
They will take it back if they determine that people who don't buy it because it charges from the bottom cost more in missed sales than supporting a 90 year old person's dementia does, but only then.
USB is so fragile for something like a phone. Tongue connector is over engineering.
What????? it has more charging speed, much better data transfer speeds, is reversible, and is compatible with newer accessories.
Apple bread crumbs and they always need something for ‘the next big thing’ in their pocket to use for next release.
It's better and cheaper to adopt than the propriety port.
Because of the universal success of FireWire and 30-pin?
¯\_( ツ)_/¯
This time they are going to innovate and put it dead center on the top.
The only way I’m moving from an iPhone 13 pro is of the 14 comes with USBC. Same for AirPods. At this point I’m not buying anything new that isn’t usb c.
This article actively made me LOL.
So what is lightning will be USB-C but somehow you missed out on the wireless keyboards and the wireless charging pucks

not at all...my 2019 Ram truck has USB C for wired CarPlay already.
It will be nice when apple finally can have one standard port and cable for all of their devices.
I mean I can travel and bring one cable to charge all of my devices. Like MBP, iPad and iPhone...it is really very overdue
USB-C on a Magic Mouse? Oh, please! Charging on the bottom is a big F.U. mess. Nothing like having to stop work during the day when Notification Manager decides it’s good enough to wait until your mouse is down to 2% critically low charge to let you know what‘s up. What a complete UX fail.
Apple should just bring back the battery-powered Mouse if they can’t figure that out.

Lightning isn't "suddenly useless" for you unless you purposely go out of your way to buy all new devices without Lightning and get rid of all your old ones. That's not the EU or Apple's fault.
I don't really care about what connectors the Apple stuff, or other tech for that matter, have or will have.
I have a few boxes with plenty of various cords and connectors. I will probably buy another few when Apple change.
It have happened before, it will continue to happen.
I was sorting out a lot of old ethernet cables from some boxes, bought some new in case I will have use of them. I don’t have so much use for them at the moment though. But who knows tomorrow...
That’s tech life, boxes of old cords 😂
