He has no time to redesign the magic mouse anyway, he is busy transferring his past design philosophy to the upcoming Apple Car, found this prototype leak on the net.

The current model charges to a full days use in 2 minutes. 120 seconds.
I doubt I could even find replacement batteries in that time.
My rechargeables are in a desk drawer under the mouse (in my home office). I also use a rechargeable magic mouse (at work) and it definitely doesn’t charge meaningfully in 2 minutes. You must have a magic Magic Mouse.
Wow, there are a lot of judgy comments in the thread today. Chins, foreheads, what's next...sideburns? Or would that just be a mullet?
Come on, you know it: Baby blue shirt with tan pants. You wear it at least twice a week.
Nothing says, "I've turned in my man card" like baby blue on tan. But hey, way to own it!
Imagine if Bob Ross decided he didn't like "happy little trees" and decided to quit because of that. Imagine if Eric Clapton decided he didn't like silver frets on a guitar and decided to quit because of that. Or if Michael Angelo had decided that he hated marble because it had flaws in it, or that ceiling was just too ornate.
My point is, everybody here seems to have all kinds of faux reasons to say "no" to success.
I didn't let design queues stop me from building the most fab Lincoln Log home ever seen on my block, and later I didn't let design queues stop me from building the coolest space ships out of my Legos, which were all red, white, blue, or clear, and all rectangular. No fancy curved pieces for THIS kid. I had a functioning imagination, which may have been the greatest gift that my parents could have encouraged in me and my siblings!
Haha, that was so funny, and right after that thread from yesterday.
Yep, for sure!
Yes we are, and it's okay. Just say everybody else is wrong, and if you can't say it with enough conviction, then just insult them.
This is probably true.
I don't find the white bezel and chin ugly at all. Hi, I'm Flight Plan and it's nice to meet you!
They tried to pull this on men who drove Miatas and then Priuses. Until they met me and I called them out on their judgy. Then they backed down. Hi, I'm Flight Plan and it's nice to meet you!
Neither do I! How long until we're "most people" again?
Hi, I'm Flight Plan and it's nice to meet you!
Real men can even wear pink and not feel that our masculinity is being threatened. What's wimpy is that "drone business uniform" that most men wear, EVEN DURING COVID!

Naah, it's more like the 5 people on Twitter.
There was a thread yesterday where A BIG OLE' MESS O' PEEPS were saying they were glad he was gone. Either you missed it or you didn't read for retention. 😉
I think your comment makes the most sense. I have stuff to do, so when the machines become available, I don't plan to let some minor design queue stop me from being successful.

Own it, brother, own it!
I had the yellow Tonka dump truck, and I think there was a Tonka log hauler too (maybe red or orange?), designed to carry those Lincoln Logs down from the mountain top to the imaginary lake on the living room floor where my 10 year old self was preparing to build my cabin!

Oh, I didn't even get that far, just gave up when it felt like a slippery little piece of soap in my hand.
I’m looking forward to pop off iMacs as soon I see them. Even at work i will do this, if they show up.
Will be a nice running gag…
If they moan around, I‘ll just say:
It definitely does, and the same thing has been reported by numerous others on this forum.
Yours might be faulty, which is unfortunate, but not a legitimate complaint about the charging time of the mouse.
I don't complain about the battery in my car being too hard to charge everywhere I park it, because my alternator is ****ed.
No, but you’d complain if jump staring the battery in your car required turning it upside down on its roof.
It’s a stupid design. Defend it all you like, but it’s stupid.
Ah I see. I wasn’t aware of this. I’m still using the OG keyboard & trackpad that use AA batteries.
Then Apple musst have build a few million of faulty devices…
To the lawyers … new lawsuit please, Thanks!
I have a set of rechargeable keyboard/mouse/trackpad, and 2 sets of the battery-operated version (both the 3-battery keyboard and the 2-battery version, in fact). The rechargeable keyboard and trackpad are great. And plugging them in to the computer also pairs them, which is nice. The mouse is, every 6-9 months, a pain, whenever you need to charge. For the battery-operated ones i can just rotate in the next pair of rechargeable batteries, which takes 15 seconds. No need to flip it on its back like a helpless turtle and wait.
Yeah, but that's mostly because my car weighs significantly more than my mouse. Definitely more than I can lift. It's also got liquids and a bunch of loose stuff inside it. My mouse, not so much.
And you're entitled to your opinion.
The latest magic mouse is definitely not „form follows function“

Wouldn’t surprise me at all to see a cheese-greater style all-in-one at some point. Not really necessary unless they put the same CPU/GPU in there that is rumored for the mini-mac pro.
My post was not against the new iMac. I think it looks fine. My post was tongue in cheek against those who have said the new iMac looks childish etc.
ALL IN ONE - Doesn't work if it's not all in one does it.
It's not a difficult concept to grasp surely.
Well ****, I guess the original iMac wasn't all in other either was it...
Damn keyboard and mouse hanging off like weird entrails.
That’s never been what all-in-one means. It’s an all-in-one if the keyboard isn’t integrated, right? And the mouse? Surely the transformer is of less consequence than those things. (And, of course, all-in-ones used to actually have the keyboard as part of the device).
I’ve yet to meet anyone who is actually bothered by the white bezel - including people who are massively into photography and would edit their work on this.
The chin makes this instantly recognizable for what it is. Without it, it’s a generic screen. With it, you instantly know it’s an iMac.
And that “designed for women” bit is bordering on sexism IMO.
What is Ive's obsession with slimness? Why always form over function? Seriously, maybe it's an architecture issue with the M1 but the previous gen Intel MBA's have 2 USB C. The MBP doesn't have an SD Card slot or HDMI output.
The design itself I have no issue with, but the lack of ports, whyyyy????????

hi, I’m someone. I think they look modern, fresh and stylish. Count me.
“women” as a homogeneous mass, lol
Lol I knew it!!
Despite leaving the company in 2019, Apple's former chief design officer, Jony Ive, helped design the new 24-inch iMac, according to an excerpt from Wired's review of the new desktop computer.
Jony Ive famously left Apple in 2019 to form his own independent design company, which would have Apple as one of its clients. During his tenure at Apple, Ive oversaw the development and design of revolutionary products, including the iPhone, iPad, iPod, MacBook, and the iMac.
Apple confirmed to Wired that Ive did indeed work on the new iMac but stopped short of confirming or denying whether his own firm, LoveFrom, aided Apple in designing the computer after he left the company.
The 24-inch iMac is the first redesign to the iMac in years, featuring a significantly thinner design, the M1 Apple silicon chip, and comes in seven vibrant colors. Learn more about the 24-inch iMac using our guide.
