Even though it comes bundled with the new generation iMac, the Magic Mouse 2 wireless mouse has held the position of a charging port that has been criticized for many years.
In addition to the newly designed Magic Keyboard, the Magic Mouse 2 wireless mouse is an accessory sold with the iMac 2021, the computer model launched by Apple on April 20 with a colorful design, M1 processor and a number of upgrades inside.

Despite the addition of multiple colors that sync with the iMac 2021, the Magic Mouse 2 still keeps the charging port on the bottom.

Placing the charging port on the underside means Magic Mouse won’t be able to use it when it’s plugged in. According to the Tom’s Guide This charging port position is confusing when created by a company that focuses on the design, optimal user experience. Talk to The Verge Apple also confirmed that the only change to Magic Mouse 2 is adding more colors, the rest of the features have remained the same since the release of the mouse in 2015. Although the charging time is very fast, 2 minutes for 9 hours of use, having to turn upside down and plug the charger cord when the mouse is lying on your back makes many people feel confused. This isn’t Apple’s only “catastrophic” design. The first-generation Apple Pencil stylus also had a confusing way of charging when it had to be plugged into the iPad’s Lightning port. Not only absurd, the fact that a sharp object extending from the iPad charging port is also easy to cause impact and damage. The charging design of the original Apple Pencil was criticized by users for being too uncomfortable. Photo: Business Insider. By 2018, the new charging port problem is resolved when Apple introduces the 2nd generation stylus, connecting and charging by iPad via magnets. While you can’t charge and write, the new way of charging doesn’t affect your iPad’s use. Apple is also not an easy company to change the design. The “butterfly” keyboard on the MacBook has existed for 4 years, despite being criticized since its launch. Similarly, the new Apple TV remote received a design change on April 20, after 6 years of receiving many complaints. It seems that 2015 was the year Apple’s design team came up with the most dumb ideas. While most of the design has been upgraded, the charging port position on the Magic Mouse 2 has yet to show signs of change. The secret behind Apple’s success Apple’s success comes from the smooth combination of hardware and software. At the time of Apple, this strategy was still unfamiliar to many brands.
