Wow is that thing ugly AF

Does ugliness or beauty matter? The "Apple Magic Mouse 2" is perhaps more visually beautiful than any other mouse, but functionally it is a horrible mouse.

Beauty, as always, is in the eye of the beholder — as is the beholder's willingness (or, sometimes, lack thereof) to pay for it. I bought an Apple Studio Display for my home because it looks more pleasing to my eye than the comparable 27-inch LG UltraFine Display that my employer had earlier purchased for my office. Dell's new 32-inch 6K UltraSharp is not particularly attractive to me with its tall forehead & webcam bulge … but if Dell is able to significantly undercut the $4300+ price of Apple's Pro Display XDR, plenty of people will buy the new Dell display even if they find it to be less pleasing to the eye than they'd like.

As for the Apple Magic Mouse, I respectfully disagree about its functionality. It has been my all-time favorite mouse since its introduction in 2009! It fits my hand perfectly; I can use it for many long hours at a time with zero discomfort; and its multi-touch capabilities are supremely useful to me (and I prefer the Magic Mouse to any trackpad). Yes, for the rechargeable version first introduced in 2015, I do think it was odd for Apple to put its Lightning port on the bottom — making it impossible to use it while simultaneously recharging. But the battery lasts for weeks and recharges quickly, so it doesn't really bother me — I just plug it in overnight or during a lunch break. If & when Apple introduces a Magic Mouse 3 with a USB-C port, I do hope the cable sticks out the top end like a traditional wired mouse but that they don't otherwise mess too much with what I find to be an exceptionally useful overall design.

This will be helpful to those among your readers who have less experience in the Mac ecosystem and/or who just want all this info in one place. Thanks.

FYI to the author: There are typos in one of the paragraphs beneath your first infographic. As first published, your story reads "the Mac Studio in its M2 Max and M2 Ultra versions," but you obviously mean "M4 Max and M3 Ultra versions."

Don’t innovate anymore my ass. 

The quote was "Can't innovate any more, my ass!" — but yes, it's definitely apt here.
