Apple CEO Tim Cook talks about the magic mouse: “Ohhhhhhhh”

Apple has invented some great products over the years. Between iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Macbook Air, it’s very difficult to choose the best one. Following Apple’s 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference, YouTuber Marques Brownlee sat down with CEO Tim Cook to get his thoughts on Apple’s most popular devices. This list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the Magic Mouse. After a long, thoughtful look at Apple’s history, Cook stroked his chin and dropped this gem:

Magic mouse. Ahhhhhh. It was also an amazing moment. Mmmmm. People don’t think about that as much as they think about the Macbook Air, the iPad, and whatever else you’ll probably mention. Ahhhhhh. But implementing the ergonomics well – oh – was key. Yes.

Just bring up the Magic Mouse, Apple’s seemingly wireless mouse A beetle with legs in AIWhen you charge it, you leave Apple’s CEO speechless. For my first hour, it seemed like Cook was saying that getting the ergonomics “right” was key. However, after watching it a few times and taking a long look at my Magic Mouse, I’m pretty sure he meant it for ergonomics.”I did wellIt was a real achievement. That comma is important. The Magic Mouse has always felt like a device that Apple just made, rather than one that it worked hard to improve.

Contrary to Cook’s comment, ergonomics aren’t good at all on Apple’s Magic Mouse. Late last year, one engineer launched what he called: “The world’s first ergonomic Magic Mouse with no weak points.” He was Not the first to try, but. Ivan Kuleshov added a new plastic case to the Magic Mouse to make it more comfortable and included a new charging port that allows you to charge while using it.

Cook was then asked about the iPhone, and he immediately replied: “Oh my God. You changed the world! It’s a simple and straightforward answer and it’s undoubtedly true. Cook may have been expecting to be asked questions about the iPhone, or perhaps shiny new products like the Vision Pro. However, we have to give Brownlee credit for asking Apple about the most embarrassing device that won’t go away.

Magic mouse It came out in 2009, the first mouse ever to use Apple’s multi-touch technology pioneered in the iPhone and iPod. It came standard with the iMac, powered by two AA batteries, and retails for just $69. In 2015, Apple released the Magic Mouse 2, which was almost identical except for being rechargeable. This model features the iconic abomination of the Lightning connector charging port located on the underside of the mouse. In 2022, Apple released the new Magic Mouse 2, but the only difference is It’s black and $20 extra. When it is flipped, it still makes me uncomfortable.
