Hands on: Apple's USB-C accessories leave us wanting more
charlesn said:Another case where Apple leaves easy money on the table and I wonder why. Backlit keyboard + USB-C? Sure, I'll upgrade! Just USB-C? No thanks, i'll keep my Touch ID Lightning Keyboard. Same for Magic Mouse and Trackpad. Same for AirPods Max USB-C. All long in the tooth products more than ready for some kind of refresh, but Apple just swaps out the charging port and that's it. It's funny that they took this opportunity to remove the etched Apple logo on the bottom of Magic Mouse--would have loved to have been in the meeting where they discussed a long list of tweaks they could have made, but only removing the Apple logo made it through! What was THAT decision about? Did they save some fraction of a penny on a bottom plate with no etching? Well, at least Apple is saving me money! -

jonyo said:To be fair, they left all the prices the same as the previous otherwise-identical lightning devices, as they did with the AirPods Max when they switched it to USB-C, so... what's the problem? It's just a tiiiiiiny update as far as consumer interest and relevance, not really worth having an actual "review" about. Apple didn't put out any marketing material that exaggerates any changes here, so while maybe some were disappointed with the lack of other changes, you can't say Apple promised something and then didn't deliver. No one who already has the lightning version of any of these is going to upgrade specifically get USB-C (if they have any sense), and lightning cables are going to be around from Apple or third party vendors until the end of the time itself, so nobody's getting screwed here. -
M4 Pro 14-inch MacBook Pro vs M1 Pro 14-inch MacBook Pro compared: Big performance gains i...
Xed said:I'm definitely waiting until WiFi 7 is included before updating my MBP, and I'm scratching my head as to why the iPhone 16 has it across the board but not even the Pro notebooks updated almost 2 months later.
I'd also prefer a better display at this point, but that's not a deal breaker for me.What in your workflow would improve with WiFi 7?
