The Macalope should n’t have to list his Apple bonafides . His head is , after all , shape like a Classic Mac . What else does a guy have to do ? Get a tattoo ? Because I ’m not doing that . Sounds like it hurt .
But let ’s just take it as writ that the Macalope generally like Apple product . The Macalope tends not to use the Christian Bible “ fan ” anymore because it implies a level of unreasoning adherence and , to be clear , there have been some big Apple fans over the year . hoi polloi who are just unfit citizenry and citizenry who act like no one should purchase any other company ’s products ever , shoehorning Macs , iPhones , and iPads into whatever job involve being done . Clearly , the Macalope has his personal preferences , but he ’s long said there are very good reasons to use other smartphones , other computing gadget , and other spatial computing gadget . He supposes it ’s possible .
Overall , he just likes Apple products better . That said , there are certainly still some thing the company does that he finds utterly baffling . of late he ’s noticed three that have inexplicably continued to get his goat for years now .
Perfect to a T? Nope.
Apple ’s most frustrating decisions are often just the footling things . And , maybe give the state of the world , sometimes it ’s just fun to complain about little things .
On Monday , Apple updated the Mac peripheral machine , at long last changing the Lightning port on the Magic Keyboards and Magic Mouse to USB - C. It changed the porthole , but that ’s it .
[ excitedly turns over new Magic Mouse , realise its Modern USB - C port wine ] OH , COME ON !
Perfect to a T? Nope.
Again , this is clearly not the big deal in the world . Obviously . It ’s below , for illustration , let to figure out which fried Gallus gallus sandwich plaza best aligns with your social and political view . But your mouse want a consecrated nap time like an fractious toddler seems like a less efficient system than just , oh , finding a mode to put the charging port on the front . The Magic Trackpad , for example , has it on the front . The Macalope is not an engineer , nor does he play one on telly ( once in residential area theater ) , but he ’s pretty trusted a clever society like Apple could find a way to do it .
sure as shooting , most masses utilize laptop computer these days so the number of people who even have to care with a mouse is pretty low . But it is the default computer mouse for one of Apple ’s theme song Cartesian product : the iMac . The Macalope had several of the assault and battery - powered Apple Magic Mice , but he has not bought one since the modification for precisely this ground .
Perfect to a T ? Nope .

Another product he might like to get but wo n’t isthe Magic Keyboard . What ’s wrong with it ? This one you do n’t even have to flex over to see , just look in the lower right - hand corner .
There are two types of hoi polloi in this Earth : the great unwashed who choose arrow key in the proper reverse “ T ” configuration andabsolute monsters . Somehow this hellspawn of the 2016 MacBook Pro has not been post back into the abyss from which it came to stare at nothingness for all of timelessness as should be its portion in a just and honest universe .
The Macalope will just keep sending Apple the bill for the insistent strain of having to reach up to Touch ID on his MacBook Air because he ’s not buying this keyboard . The company , of course , will keep shred them but it ’s a play picayune plot we like to represent .
at last , let ’s talk colour . Or the want therefrom . How on God ’s greenish Earth does it make sense to charge iPhone Pro customer more and give them few choice in people of color ? Even car companies do n’t do that . Base models generally have fewer color options than the higher end . With iPhones , however , Apple ’s most expensive models make out in colors so throttle you ’d think they were examine to disappear into an Ansel Adams scene .

“ Ah , the Grand Tetons . So majestic . Beautiful C - cap mountains over lechatelierite clear lake and is that a Natural Titanium iPhone 16 Pro in there ? ”
On the exfoliation of thing that matter , these are not very high . At the same clock time , on the scale of thing that would be relatively easy to fix , they ’re quite gamy . That ’s what have it so frustrating .
