Apple is the only technology company in the world whose products are so perfect that they don’t require innovation. If you look at Google Analytics, most of you aren’t using a Mac at the time I’m talking to you, but some of you are. The year was 2009, and Apple introduced the most complete product in its history, perhaps the best product in the entire world of technology. The Magic Mouse went on sale on February 20, 2009, and surprisingly, it is still on sale in 2024 and 2025. I can’t believe it. Isn’t it? Apple 16 years ago, he created a product that had virtually no design or functional changes in that time.
The only thing that changed over the years was the power supply. The original two Pencil batteries were replaced over time with a Lightning connector and now USB-C. There hasn’t been a single change in functionality or design in 16 years. I don’t know of a technological product, and basically no other product in the world, that hasn’t seen a single change in 16 years. Let’s consider 2009 as the next year. The Apple iPhone 3G has been introduced to the world, and you probably don’t want to use it right now. However, in the case of Magic Mouse, it is still used in its original form 16 years later.
The Magic Keyboard has not seen too many changes in the meantime, but instead of a round base it has a fully filled one, the power supply has changed from first three to two pencil batteries, then it has received lightning, and now it has received an additional USB-C. There is at least one new button, and that’s Touch ID. So in the case of Magic Mouse, there are only two options. Either Apple 15 years ago created the world’s best product in peripherals that did not need to be improved in any way, and simply put, in just 15 years he failed to come up with anything that could be improved upon. that. Regardless, it’s a pretty interesting situation, and it’s created the longest-selling tech product in Apple’s history. Of course, the article title is a joke. Because for most users, the Magic Mouse is rather a pain and that’s a reason to look for alternatives even though Apple’s Macs don’t have it all. Still, Apple failed to convince him to innovate.
