Please Apple, please, while you’re at it, redesign the god-awful Magic Mouse so that most of the users don’t have to throw it in the drawer at the day of purchase, replacing it with an actual usable mouse.

Never used any of mine. Drawer filler for sure.

An actual height to fit hands, modern optics for better DPI, higher Hz rates, and updated wireless AND wired modes would make it actual Magic.  As it is, the only trick it has performed is making itself disappear from my desk as well.

(It's the only mouse with good vertical *and* horizontal scrolling, lets you gesture for other common trackpad functions as well - but was the only mouse ever to make me feel like I was getting carpal tunnel issues, and the Bluetooth connectivity is so janky compared to mice from more recent decades that it's just unusable.  I'm convinced they don't have anyone working on the mouse team at all anymore.)

This! 

Plus:

They should design with a less slippery material. The glass feels terrible. 

The shape isn’t ergonomic for professional use; the wrist is in an odd angle all the time. This needs to be redesigned accordingly. 

The left and right button should have tactical feedback (which Apple does well with the crown button on the Watch and laptop Trackpads).

There should be a scroll wheel as well with tactical feedback. Not feeling anything is terrible UX.

There should be a programmable side button.

Obviously they should switch to USB-C charging… on the back!

No serious professional who switches between editing, 3D work, coding, etc should have to deal with a mouse that was designed to look cool up to a point where it compromises basic usability. It’s still in the Touch Bar era. Apple can do so much better here!

Every time there is a big innovation people try to put it in everything. Then after a few years they realize that most of those applications were stupid*. This will be the way with AI. Right now they want it in everything, while we the customers just want a Siri that can understand linked questions and a spelling checker that won’t recommend ‘banana’ when I type ‘mountai’. I am actually glad to hear that most of the Apple Intelligence features will be rolled out separately over the next year. That way I can hunt them down and kill them one at a time. 

*This is how we ended up with asbestos modelling clay, and radium in makeup.

Yes it is great that there is some longer from content being produced but yes DED does tend to repeat a lot assumptions. It is like there needs to be equivalent to the old school sidebar articles use to have to breakout background for the article a familiar reader is already across and can skip over or wind back to.
