    Can they be sued for that? Selling a product that you later find out was intentionally hobbled?
    Tesla uses the same large battery in their cheaper models but disables parts of it.
    Disables or doesn't warrant for higher distance?
    Higher-end model just have a higher likelihood of battery replacement built-in, lower models keep more capacity for wear leveling. 

    12Z is a better bin of parts that doesn't need the core turned off to meet the warranty repair risk of the product. The 12X was sold to what it could delivery.

    Apple should create a web development platform.

    This would:
    1) allow any iPad or Mac App to also be a web based app with minimum extra work.
    2) allow designers to build websites with Swift and Swift UI
    3) allow anyone to easily build and publish a website with high quality templates
    4) offer hosting
    5) offer a high quality and easy to implement e-commerce solution

    Interestingly a swift Webassembly initiative driven by Apple staff is close to a functional release.
    Add years of work on interface for web apps via iCloud editions would be surprised if there wasn't a "Catalyst for the browser" test project already going on in Apple. Gives them a single storefront to make money out of apps.

    They didn't put the charging port on the bottom because that was the only place left after they eliminated all the other places where they didn't want to put it. They put the charging port on the bottom because it would prevent people from leaving it plugged in while they use it. 
    Any evidence for that? Why haven't they done that with the rest of their products?
    Well, it seems pretty self-evident, if you're not all tense and offended by the port being on the bottom. Then there's also the fact that the patent for the mouse includes drawing with a cord out the front "for the purposes of example," but notes that "the force sensing mouse may not include a cord in various implementations, and/or may communicate with an associated electronic device utilizing various wireless communication methods such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and so on." So they had a completely elegant-looking design with a cord coming out of the front, but yet when they made it wireless, by golly, the port's on the bottom. It's a wireless mouse. It's not meant to be plugged in while you're using it. 

    Ironically, there's a popular self-help book called Who Moved My Cheese that seems to address the sort of angst some people feel about the charging port being on the bottom of this wireless mouse.
    Fixity tear down suggests they put in the bottom because all they did Engineeering wise was replace the battery carrier with a rechargeable pack. 

    I see see no evidence of design in that tear down certainly not the level of skill other Apple products have.
