Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse Still Feature Lightning Instead of USB-C

What a ****ing travesty

 

[Sydnxt]

Wow. When AirPods Max get replaces this will be the only devices missing USB-C, what a failure.

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

This is the most 'Tim Cooks Apple' thing ever. Their use of USB C/Lightning is entirely random it seems.

Updated the Apple TV remote to USB C but a computer than actually has USB C ports has accessories that charge over lightning

 

[turbineseaplane]

I wonder if they are just trying to burn through a ton of stock laying around?

It can't possibly be this big of a deal to just put USB-C ports into these products

 

[defunder]

I’m literally going to be buying a new computer by the time they come out with a backlit USB-C keyboard.

 

[MacFan782040]

Tim needs to resign.

 

[turbineseaplane]

Tim needs to resign.

I agree.
The company spends too much time just playing pricing, tiering and component upgrade shenanigans now

 

[TechRemarker]

The only think could be is they are completely redesigning them and they simply couldn’t finish in time for this launch. Very strange.

You guys consider the iPhone SE current generation?

The real iMac upgrade is next year, just like the M2 Pro and Max were stop gaps. Looks like Apple hardware engineers need a little bit more time to flesh things out. 27 inch iMac owners, give it a couple more years. Then again, I think Apple dropping support for all Intel Macs next summer.

I hope you're right, but when John Ternus said the 24inch iMac is "the perfect size and resolution to replace both the 4k and 5k Intel-based models" it sure seemed to put the nail in the coffin for a new M3 27" iMac.

Instead they want us to go Mac Studio + Studio Display, or MacBook Pro + Studio Display. After all, why sell a 27" iMac for $2000, when you can sell the 5k screen alone for $1600?

I don't think they sell enough iMacs to justify a larger size

That too

Lightning accessories and 8GB base. This is a pretty bad look by now.

Such a powerful processor paired with 8 GB of RAM is just a waste of time - literally. Even my Lenovo 710S (looks like a MacBook Air, Windows 10 Pro, H.265 and VP9 hw-acceleration) came with 8 GB RAM standard, but that was 7 years ago...

 

[MacFan782040]

The fact that they talked about Premier Pro and Ressolve more than Final Cut Pro is mind boggling and one more nail in the coffin for it

Oh no. The world has fallen. If this is all everyone has to talk about, I want your life

 

[jough]

It's too bad that Apple continues to run its different hardware divisions as individual fiefdoms instead of one big company. It's obvious that the Mac team(s) had no idea that everything else in the lineup was switching to USB-C. That, or they're just trying to bleed-off old inventory and future sales of the iMac will quietly transition to the new USB-C peripherals when they're ready.

 

[satchmo]

So MacRumors favourite source Gurman, was wrong? I'm shocked.

 

[Account25476]

Mother Nature will be happy about that.

 

[zzrwood]

That is why i purchased a set of Satechi bluetooth mouse and back lit keyboard last Saturday for my mini
they both feature usbC!

How do you like them?

 

[Scottsoapbox]

Somebody still has a warehouse full of lightning cables they are trying to sell through. 😂

My iPhone has 8GB. It really is ridiculous.

I have the silver bt mouse which is perfect, for a MacBook m1 air.
the keyboard and blue mouse i will get this week.
they make great things for apple products!

Are you saying the sell more Studio Display + Mac Mini or Studio combos?

Apple has always been stingy with RAM, and will remain so forever.

They always say that. We all thought Apple Silicon topped out at Max then they introduced an Ultra SKU. Apple is not gonna Oborne themselves.

 

[B4U]

You know...the biggest gripe is the charging port is still at the bottom of the mouse. 🤣
It is just silly at this point.
